The statutory integration benefits must, however, not be circumvented or supplemented by measures of discretionary support. These restrictions have been loosened for long-term unemployed persons.

Testing of innovative approaches pursuant to section 421h of  Book III of the Social Code (SGB III)
Erprobung innovativer Ansätze gem. § 421h SGB III
Section 421h of SGB III is an instrument which promotes innovations that may contribute to the development of new approaches in employment promotion from which recommendations can be derived which may lead to a wider implementation of the new approach (nationwide, if appropriate).  The innovative approach must help to reach the aims stipulated in section 1 of SGB III (e.g. improvement of individual employability) and it must comply with the principles of SGB III. The implementation and the success of the projects are monitored and evaluated.
The Federal Employment Agency can use up to one per cent of the funds allocated to its integration budget in order to test innovative instruments of active employment promotion. Co-funding by third parties (e.g. companies) is possible but not mandatory. The total process requires a close cooperation between the idea submitter (e.g. provision of the concept), Regional Directorate (e.g. assessment of the project idea), employment agency (e.g. active support in the framework of the testing phase) and the Federal Employment Agency (e.g. allocation of funds).
No direct payment for the employer. Payment of unemployment benefit is possible depending on the project.
Testing of innovative approaches pursuant to section 135 of  Book III of the Social Code (SGB III)
Erprobung innovativer Ansätze gem. § 135 SGB III
Section 135 of Book III of the Social Code (SGB III) is an innovation-promoting instrument offering the opportunity to develop new approaches in employment promotion. The innovative approach must help to reach the aims stipulated in section 1 of SGB III (e.g. improvement of individual employability) and must comply with the principles of SGB III. The implementation and the impact of the projects are monitored and evaluated. Since 2012, the administrative board of the Federal Employment Agency has been providing a specific budget, in particular to interlink regional activities of different policy areas and to support the implementation of innovative approaches for securing skilled labour in the three action fields “Increasing the labour market participation of persons over 55”, “Increasing the labour market participation and working time volume of women” and to promote “skill building measures”.
The Federal Employment Agency can use up to one per cent of the funds allocated to its integration budget in order to test innovative instruments of active employment promotion. More than ever, cooperation of the regional actors is required, linked with the readiness to contribute expertise and resources to concrete solutions. The support of innovative approaches under section 135 of SGB III is therefore generally linked with the requirement that co-funding of at least 50 percent is provided by third parties. The total process of testing requires a close cooperation between the idea submitter (e.g. provision of the concept), regional directorate (e.g. assessment or approval of the project idea), counseling and assistance by the employment agencies with regard to the development and implementation of test or evaluation concepts, employment agency (e.g. testing carried out in line with the objectives and information sought after) and the Federal Employment Agency (e.g. allocation of funds).

ESF Federal Programme "Good jobs for single-parent families"
ESF-Bundesprogramm "Gute Arbeit für Alleinerziehende"
In the framework of an idea competition the Federal Ministry of Labour and Social Affairs promotes projects by basic income support institutions or projects with the participation of basic income support institutions. The projects shall contribute to activation, employment integration or social and employment-related stabilization of single-parent families who are drawing benefits pursuant to the Second Book of the Social Code [SGB II]. Moreover, the projects have to lead to a transfer of suitable action concepts to other areas.
The funding comes from ESF and federal budgets (80 % of the total expenditure). In addition co-funding in the amount of 20 % of the costs comes from private, public or third party funds.     In the majority of projects third parties are responsible for the process management. In these cases only a cooperation agreement was concluded with the job centre. The third parties who are responsible for process management would therefore also administer the capital flows in these cases. 7 of the initially 77 projects launched were designed by joint institutions (formerly "joint agencies" - "ARGEn").     Approximately 60 million euros from ESF and German federal funds were spent during the project's life cycle.

The purpose of the Redundancy Payments Scheme is to compensate workers, under the Redundancy Payments Acts 1967 to 2013, for the loss of their jobs by reason of redundancy.       	  An employer who has paid an eligible employee their correct statutory redundancy lump sum payment can apply to the Department of Social Protection (the Department) for a rebate of a portion of that payment if the date of dismissal by reason of redundancy occurred before 1 January 2013.   The prescribed time limit for submitting a redundancy rebate application is six months from the date of payment of the statutory entitlement to the employee by the employer.     Where an employer can prove to the satisfaction of the Department that he/she is unable to pay the statutory redundancy to his/her eligible employees the Department will make lump sum payments directly to the employees and will seek to recover the debt from the employer.   The prescribed time limit for submitting a redundancy lump sum application is 52 weeks from the date of termination of employment.  The Employment Appeals Tribunal has discretion to extend the 52 week time limit to 104 weeks provided that it receives the necessary claim within 104 weeks of the date of dismissal and is satisfied that the delay by the employee in making the claim arose through reasonable cause.
Payments made by the Department of Social Protection under the Redundancy Payments Scheme are paid from the Social Insurance Fund.
