The case had aroused nationwide stir. An employee of job had recognized man in begging. The Jobcenter estimated its revenues and cut monthly benefits by 270 euros. After a lawyer's objection, first 90 euros were left.

According to new regulation, man can now beg for up to half of his rule set – i.e. 204.50 Euro – without having to give an account of it. If he gets more money toger, he has to indicate this. Then, in individual cases, we decided what to do with money over this border, said a spokeswoman for job.
