Unpaid enterprise assistance from November, due in January, remains unattended by the Federal Republic

The state bridging aid to the economy in Germany is delayed until January 2021, causing frustration and desperation among many companies. This delay, according to Ingrid Hartges, main business manager of Dehoga, and Marco Buschmann, parliamentary business manager of the FDP faction, is due to an incomplete software tool for processing applications.

The software tool, developed by the company SAP, is expected to start processing applications as soon as possible in December. However, it remains uncertain if the software will be delivered this year, as earlier mentioned. The delay has resulted in no regular application for November aid being processed so far.

Hartges stated that significant increases in advance payments are necessary to prevent insolvencies. She made this statement to "Bild", along with her criticism of the delayed payment of the aid. Ingrid Hartges is not alone in her concerns, as Marco Buschmann also expressed uncertainty for affected businesses due to the aid delay in a statement to the same publication.

The delay in aid delivery is adding to the worries of these companies, who are eagerly awaiting the necessary financial support to keep their operations running.

As of now, no further information has been provided about the delivery of the software or the timeline for processing November aid applications. The federal government has yet to provide a clear timeline for when the required software will be delivered, leaving businesses in limbo.

It's unclear when the federal government will be able to deliver the required software. The delay in the delivery of the software tool is causing a ripple effect, delaying the much-needed aid to struggling businesses. The businesses are hoping for a swift resolution to this issue, so they can focus on recovering and rebuilding in the aftermath of the corona crisis.
