Nancy Faeser announces new positions – more people should process asylum applications. The German Association of Cities called on the federal states to find common rules for the planned payment card for asylum seekers.
Cities and municipalities still have many questions about payment cards. And warn of chaos. The federal cabinet decided on Friday that the planned Payment card would be secured by a federal law. The card is intended to prevent asylum seekers from transferring money to smugglers or to their family or friends abroad. The specific design is still unclear in many places - the tender process for the card is still ongoing.
