What this service does for you
Sozialhilfe Basel-Stadt is the contact point if you do not have enough money after a stroke – for example, because you lost your salary and IV pension or daily allowances are not yet being paid. It is responsible for people who live in the city of Basel; if you live in Riehen or Bettingen, you contact the social services there. In addition to money, it helps with rent, health insurance, and checking other benefits such as IV and Ergänzungsleistungen. You can register by phone or at the counter on Klybeckstrasse.
