SGG

Abbreviation for Sozialgerichtsgesetz

In short and in plain language

The SGG is a German law on the courts for social matters.

It says how to take a case to these courts. It also covers appeals against a decision, for example by the care fund.

The appeal usually comes first. Only after that does a case go to court.

A page about care levels can explain this.

On a guide page about care levels it can matter for notes on appealing a decision.
