Reiden postpones social service outsourcing to 2027 – what happens now!
The municipality of Reiden is postponing the outsourcing of its social services until 2027 in order to create optimal structures with Dagmersellen.
Reiden postpones social service outsourcing to 2027 – what happens now!
The municipality of Reiden made an important decision in November 2024: The social service will be outsourced to the municipal association SoBZ / KESB Willisau - Wiggertal in Dagmersellen on January 1, 2026. This measure is intended to enable an optimal transition and the necessary structural adjustments.
The start date was originally set for 2026, but the local council decided to postpone the outsourcing to January 1, 2027. This decision was made in order to create the necessary framework conditions for the merger together with Dagmersellen in a timely manner and to avoid potential transition problems. The aim is to ensure a smooth process and to offer high-quality and efficient services. A common mindset was developed to discuss the future organizational structure and plan how employees can be supported during the changes. This is crucial in order to include employees in the process and take their needs into account. As nau.ch reports, from January 1, 2027, the social service of the Dagmersellen municipality will also be transferred to the municipal association.
Public services and social assistance
As part of these structural changes, it is important to also look at the existing social services in the region. The municipality of Dagmersellen offers comprehensive support to citizens who are financially needy. According to information from dagmersellen.ch, social assistance benefits can be paid out if necessary and professional advice is offered while maintaining the necessary discretion.
In addition, the Regional Employment Agency (RAV) takes over the tasks of the employment offices, and the initial registration of job seekers takes place at the RAV Sursee. It is important that any claim for job placement and unemployment compensation is registered in person early in order to receive financial support benefits in a timely manner. Social assistance services provide additional security for affected citizens in these changing times.
The coming months will be crucial in determining how the planned merger will develop. Both the municipalities of Reiden and Dagmersellen are committed to making the transition as smooth as possible and continuing to provide high-quality social services to the region's citizens.
