The joint service centers according to SGB IX

On July 1, 2001, the Social Code IX also brought into strength regulations on the joint service centers of the rehabilitation providers. These provide that the joint service centers will in future offer advice and support to people with disabilities and those at risk of becoming disabled, their confidants and guardians. The law provides for a catalog of tasks, some of which go beyond the previous scope of information and advice provided by the individual agencies. The regulations on the joint service centers contain numerous legal problems, the practical recognition and scientific penetration of which are important for the future workability of the institution. These include, for example, questions of organizational and liability law. The project focuses on the legal relationship between the service center and those affected. However, the legal relations to the other agents of the rehabilitation system are also examined.
