Wohngeld Payment in Dortmund — When Does the Money Arrive?

Wohngeld is paid monthly in advance — usually at the end of the previous month or at the beginning of the current month. Payment is made cashlessly to your current account.

Payment Dates

Wohngeld is usually transferred by the Dortmund Wohngeld office at the end of the previous month. The exact date may vary depending on your bank and processing status. In most cases, the money is in your account by the 3rd working day of the month at the latest.

First Payment After Approval

After approval, you receive Wohngeld retroactively from the application month. The first payment may therefore be higher as it can cover several months. After that, payment is made regularly on a monthly basis.
