DE EN seek Services Working world Invest M&A DATAGROUP Contact Hessen starts with the BAföG app from DATAGROUP Pliezhausen, January 31, 2018. Last week, the state of Hesse started with the DATAGROUP “BAföGdirekt” app. The IT outsourcer is thus driving the paperless application process for BAföG benefits and digital communication with the responsible offices of the federal states. With the “BAföGdirekt” app, Hessen is the first federal state to offer applicants new services relating to the application for benefits under BAföG (Federal Training Assistance Act) or AFBG (Aufstiegs-BAföG), which are now also optimized for smartphones and tablets. The greatest added value lies in the simplification of communication between the applicant and the funding office: The responsible office can be determined and then contacted directly from the app by phone call and email or found using the route planner. From now on, documents (bank statements, tax assessments, etc.) can be photographed with the mobile device and transmitted directly to the office via a secure connection. This eliminates the laborious process of scanning and uploading the required form details. “BAföG direkt ” can inform the user independently of any change in the application status if so desired. 40% of all BAföG applications are currently processed using the BAFSYS (BAföG and AFBG system) developed by DATAGROUP in nine federal states. In addition to Hesse, other states are planning to use "BAföGdirekt".
