You escaped from the Ukraine before the war, live in the city of Oberhausen and have not yet reached retirement age? Then, under certain conditions, you can apply to the Oberhausen Job Center for benefits under SGB II.
What you have to do for that:
1. Registration
First you have to register in the administration building at the gym Knappenstraße 125, 46047 Oberhausen. This is staffed daily from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. In addition to the first registration, there is also a health screening, which includes a corona test.
2. residence permit
Your data will then be sent to the immigration office in the Technical Town Hall, Bahnhofstr. 66, 46145 Oberhausen. You will then receive an appointment by post for the identification service. There your biometric data will be recorded and fingerprints will be taken. You will then receive a temporary certificate of fiction until you are issued a residence permit in accordance with Section 24 of the Residence Act.
3. Your visit to the job center in Oberhausen
You can only apply for benefits under SGB II at the Oberhausen Job Center once you have been issued with a fictional certificate by the immigration authorities. The care of refugees from the Ukraine, who are entitled to benefits under SGB II, will take place at the Integration Point, Essener Str. 3. It is open on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays from 7.30 a.m. to 3.30 p.m. and on Wednesdays and Fridays from 7.30 a.m. to 12.30 p.m.
Please be sure to bring the following with you to your visit to the job center:

(Please note that the job center cannot pay out cash. If you do not have an account, we will give you a barcode that you can use to get money in retail.)
