Governor of the party is calling for a nationwide uniform social assistance system. She advocates for the federal government to adopt the Lower Austrian model as the basis for the upcoming Sozialhilfe-NEU regulation.
The federal government is currently planning the new social assistance framework, but federal states have not yet received concrete information. Mikl-Leitner describes her state's model as the strictest and fairest, serving as a template for national reform.
Mikl-Leitner emphasizes that social assistance should be a safety net rather than a resting cushion. The proposed system aims to provide help to those in need while actively encouraging individuals who are capable of working to re-enter the labor market.
