Grant Policy

The return assistance to be provided shall be determined as follows:

The grant guideline will apply as part of the conclusion of memberships on the Kemitnetwork platform from 1 January 2022.

The platform pursues the goal of enabling the full assumption of the repatriation costs of its members through subsidies. The subsidy is basically staggered according to the duration of the membership on the platform. The amount of the subsidy increases with the duration of the membership and reaches the maximum amount already on the fifth year of membership.

In the first year of membership, a waiting period applies. As a gesture of goodwill, a collection campaign can be started.

In the second year of membership, the waiting period continues to apply. However, the repatriation costs can be financed by voluntary collection of members. These costs cannot exceed 40% of the maximum applicable grant amount.

In the third year of membership, the repatriation costs will be subsidized by 60% of the maximum applicable grant amount.

In the fourth year of membership, the repatriation costs will be subsidized 80% of the maximum applicable grant amount.

From the fifth year of membership, the repatriation costs will be subsidized 100% of the maximum applicable grant amount.

1.in the 1st year0%
2.in the 2nd year0%Volontary collect, but max. 40% of the reserved grant amount.
3.in the 3rd year60%
4.in the 4th year80%
5.from 5th year100%

The maximum applicable subsidy amount can already be reserved by a member with a waiting period of two years if a fivefold membership fee is paid in the year of entry. In this case, the reserved grant is half of the maximum applicable grant amount in the first year of membership.

If you leave in the country of origin or in the country of choice, the reserved subsidy amount will be reduced to 30% if the stay exceeds the duration of three months. On the other hand, the duration of the stay is less than three 90 days, the reserved subsidy amount is reduced to 50% as a gesture of goodwill.

Based on the current projection, the maximum applicable grant amount is EUR 15,000.00 per repatriation case. This is due to the economic situation and adjusted annually depending on the number of members of the platforms and the state of the fund.
