Christian Stocker defended the government's proposed welfare reform, stating it could generate over €200 million in annual budget benefits by encouraging employment and integration. Social Affairs Minister Korinna Schumann offered a cautious view, noting that savings would not be realized in 2027 unless the federal states implemented the changes quickly. The government anticipates savings of €188 million in 2028 and over €237 million in 2029.
