Update on JobTicket subsidies from November 20, 2025, from the BADV (Federal Office for Central Services and Unresolved Property Issues):
Due to a lack of agreement with the BMF, there will be no increase in the maximum employer subsidy.
This will remain at a maximum of €23.28 per month for all JobTickets, including the Deutschlandticket Job.
