Appli­ca­tion for the 200 euro one-time payment

Since Wednes­day, March 15, the plat­form for the appli­ca­tion for the 200 € one-time pay­ment (ener­gy flat rate) is acti­vat­ed. How­ev­er, not every­one was able to sub­mit their appli­ca­tion, as the plat­form was tem­porar­i­ly unavail­able and an error mes­sage was dis­played. When it was acces­si­ble again, many appli­cants end­ed up in a wait­ing room. This meant that a lot of patience was required. The rea­son for the tech­ni­cal prob­lems was sim­ply the high vol­ume of traf­fic, which the site was not designed for.

Oth­ers were unable to sub­mit their appli­ca­tion because they had not yet received the required access code and PIN from their edu­ca­tion­al insti­tu­tion. This was also the case for us, the stu­dents at Heil­bronn University.

When will it be pos­si­ble to apply for the 200 euro one-off payment?

Accord­ing to Heil­bronn Uni­ver­si­ty, the access data will be made avail­able via eCam­pus at the end of March. There­fore, you will have to be patient a lit­tle longer. 

The appli­ca­tion can be sub­mit­ted until Sep­tem­ber 30, 2023. After that, your enti­tle­ment expires.

All those who were enrolled at a Ger­man uni­ver­si­ty on Decem­ber 1, 2022 are eli­gi­ble. For more infor­ma­tion on this and on the €200 one-time pay­ment in gen­er­al, please read our arti­cle from February.

How does the appli­ca­tion process work?

1. enter access code

You can only sub­mit your appli­ca­tion after you have received your access code. The access code is your per­son­al key to access the application.

2. prove identity

To prove your iden­ti­ty, you must first log in with your Bun­dID account and then iden­ti­fy your­self with your online ID.

3. fill out online application

Now you only need to fill out the appli­ca­tion. This is actu­al­ly quick. Have your bank account details (IBAN) ready for this. After you have filled out every­thing, you only have to con­firm the dec­la­ra­tions and send the appli­ca­tion online. 

4. receive one-time payment

If you have now done every­thing cor­rect­ly and meet the require­ments for the one-time pay­ment, you will receive an e‑mail. This con­tains a noti­fi­ca­tion with the approval and the 200 € will be trans­ferred to the spec­i­fied account.
