Is every citizen entitled to receive the citizens' allowance?

Only those who are of working age and cannot support themselves with their own income, and for whom other priority benefits (unemployment benefit, housing benefit, child supplement, etc.) are not sufficient, receive the new benefit. The job centres can provide advice on this. Non-working individuals living in the same household as those entitled to the new benefit also receive it.

Anyone who previously received unemployment benefit II or social benefit will now be entitled to the new benefit.
