Series "Sustainable prospects to stay": Health and participation benefits for persons entitled to benefits under the Asylum Seekers Benefits Act
This lecture will present the legal basis of medical care for refugees. For the first time since the creation of the AsylbLG in November 1993, the Federal Social Court (BSG) ruled in February 2024 on medical claims under Section 4 AsylbLG and interpreted the entitlement to benefits broadly and thus in conformity with the constitution. The question of how care is organized at the local level and what the decision could mean for care will be discussed in conclusion.
Speaker: Mirjiam Schülle (Research Associate, Department of Disability, Inclusion and Social Participation, University of Kassel)
From the event series "Bleibeperspektive oder Flucht und Migration in Zeiten des Umbruchs in Deutschland" (April 24 to July 10, 2025)
Debates about migration are increasingly dominating kitchen table conversations and politics. At the same time, discussions are becoming increasingly emotionalized and fronts in society are hardening. The student project "Sustainable Perspective to Stay" at the University of Kassel aims to create the opportunity to take another look at the basic idea of asylum and asylum law. In addition to the legal perspective, there will be a strong focus on the current living environments of migrants. In this context, topics such as migration, work and social rights will be examined in the context of a restrictive migration policy. In addition to lectures, the series of events also includes a reading, two film screenings, a networking meeting and a workshop. Following the events, there will be an open space for discussion.
The series of events is organized and carried out by the project "Sustainable prospects to stay and participation in education for students with refugee experience" at the University of Kassel. Further information on the project can be found on the website: www.bleibeperspektive.com
