A unemployed received a vacancy from the Labor Market Service (AMS). But after the application his mobile phone broke and he was no longer available by telephone. Although he knows the AMs, the authority stroked the emergency aid. Exactly, as the federal administrative court now confirmed.
If you request a job at the Labor Market Service (AMS), you must have your mobile phone or computer, otherwise social benefits can be canceled. This is demonstrated by a current case of the Federal Administrative Court. According to this, a man who has been living in the Braunau district since 2017 is to an emergency aid. In October 2024, the AMS commissioned the unemployed to request a job as a shipping employee at a company in Salzburg in Neuarkt am Wallersee. He did this too.
42 days of social benefit canceled
Two weeks later he reported to the AMS that his mobile phone was broken and that he was no longer available by telephone. He also has no PC keyword e-mail contact. After a while the company complained to the AMS: the job seeker did not introduce himself and “did not respond to many, many phone calls”. Although the person involved again emphasized that he had informed his phone, it cannot be achieved and had no money for a new mobile phone, the AMS would have the emergency aid for 42 days.
He dealt with the decision with a complaint – and failed for the federal administrative court. “In any case, it is not the task of the company to contact the potential employer to place that the mobile phone has broken,” the court says. He should have done that immediately.
