This subsidy can be applied for digitally starting from February 1, 2023, via the official website of the state.
The state authorities emphasize that the application process is “quick and easy.” While this process could previously only be carried out in person at municipal offices, it is now fully digital. For older people and those who do not use a computer, the application can still be made in municipal offices or magistrates as an exception.
