Another term for Arbeitslosengeld II, a term for a social security benefit that is around 400€ that - not only, but mostly - unemployed can get. 1/3 of people who could get it doesn't request it, because the system is very painful for them. E.g. they have to accept every job - no matter what - if they don't want less money. Also they have to explain themself a lot of times, etc. And often they get things they need really late (e.g. bus tickets for the month). Also 400€ is not really much in Germany. Those 1/3 who doesn't request HartzIV save Germany more than 20 billions Euro per year..
HartzIV hat ersetzt zu werden! (HartzIV needs to be replaced!)
