The state of Brandenburg has initiated the rollout of a digital platform intended to streamline applications for essential social benefits, such as basic security, housing assistance, and subsistence aid. Developed under the ‘Einer für Alle’ (One for All) principle in cooperation with federal authorities, the platform aims to reduce bureaucratic hurdles and improve social cohesion.

Following a pilot phase in the Elbe-Elster district, the service has expanded to the Potsdam-Mittelmark district. The platform is designed to be multilingual and barrier-free, utilizing national identity card functions or BundID for identification. This rollout is part of a larger state strategy to provide all major administrative services online by 2029, with several additional districts and state offices currently preparing for implementation.
