A loan on the house and heavily pregnant with her second child: the 32-year-old Barbara Bozek from Waldviertel is now suffering severe existential fears through no fault of her own. Many medical bills also hang over the young family like a sword of Damocles.(Bild: Klaus Schindler)

Austrians who receive continuing education allowance should pay attention. Because through no fault of their own, young mothers now not only have to pay back the amount approved and already paid out by the AMS, but social insurance is also simply canceled retrospectively - without it, for example, medical bills will also be due during this period!

Unbelievable, but true: A "case from Lower Austria", as the AMS calls it, is now spreading widely and shaking the faith of those affected in the domestic "social system". During an inspection of the Viennese further education institute Sitya, it was discovered that the courses did not meet the legal requirements. Because the AMS had to strictly comply with the Unemployment Insurance Act, it had no choice but to reclaim the money paid out by those affected. At the same time, the insurance status is also subsequently canceled!
