„Versicherungsfremde“ Leistungen in der Sozialversicherung

Author

  • Brosig Magnus

Abstract

In German social policy discourse, social insurance benefits that are considered to be incorrectly financed or to be provided by inadequate institutions are commonly referred to as “non-insurance-related”. This article attempts to develop a scheme for identifying such benefits: What aspects underlie respective problems, and in which scenarios do they actually occur? If specific cases of inappropriate financing can be identified using this approach, they should be corrected through adjustments of social insurance systems or by providing adequate subsidies from the federal budget. However, it would be wrong to fundamentally question affected benefits.
