German unemployment benefit too low to cover power costs
Check 24
Unemployment benefits in Germany are insufficient to cover average power costs, price comparison website Check 24 says in a press release. People receiving Germany's 鈥淗artzIV鈥� benefits pay on average 158 euros more for electricity than budgeted for in their annual payment. The gap varies between Germany鈥檚 federal states - as do electricity costs - with claimants in the north-eastern state Mecklenburg-Vorpommern nearly 240 euros out of pocket, Check 24 adds.
