Requirements – Achievements: Ensure equal opportunities – otherwise it is discrimination
Vienna(OTS) – As of today, applications for the Craftsman Bonus can be made digitally and analogically. “This is an important milestone,” Ingrid Korosec, president of the Senior Citizens Association, said she worked intensively on this inclusive access option. The bonus is retroactive to March 1, 2024, and is supported by companies, city governments, chambers of commerce and senior citizens’ organizations.
“No one should be excluded from vital financial support simply because they are digitally illiterate,” Korosek explained. “Institutional support ensures that everyone who needs support can get it.”
Although Korosek’s demands, such as the recent request for a simulated use of federal coffers, were successfully implemented, the president of the Senior Citizens’ Association remains unsatisfied. “Our clear request was to be able to use a similar means from the Federal Treasury, either by phone or using a form. So I’m certainly pleased that Chancellor Nehammer and Finance Minister Brenner recognized this need and implemented it quickly.” By Simulation options are now available to everyone as an investment. However: in practice it should go without saying that you can use public and private services even without Internet access, that is, by phone or using a form. Offering both digital and analog application options is clear discrimination. Korosek warned. “The push towards digitalization increasingly drives this self-evident nature. That’s why I continue to demand that digital and analog options will always be available in the future and that this will become the norm.
Because, as Korosek emphasizes, “Approximately 30% of the population, young or old, do not have the digital skills required to submit applications digitally. Therefore, automated simulation application options are needed everywhere and everywhere to ensure that no one is discriminated once morest due to lack of digital skills!
