German citizen's allowance: 60% of family payments go to non-German households

Die Welt reports that in 2025, nearly 60% of Germany's Citizen's Allowance (Bürgergeld) for households with children went to recipients without German passports, with Ukrainians, Syrians, and Afghans as main beneficiaries. The data, likely from official statistics, highlights the fiscal and social impact of immigration on Germany's welfare system. This is a politically sensitive issue ahead of elections, but the claim's accuracy depends on the underlying data source, which is not specified.
