Life

After graduating from high school in 1968, Alt studied political science and German at the University of Trier from 1970 to 1975 . From 1977 to 1983 he was a consultant for labor market and occupational research at the state employment office of Rhineland-Palatinate - Saarland . From 1983 to 1985 he worked as head of the employment agency at the Saarlouis employment office . After that he was head of the employment agency department at the Mainz employment office until 1987 . From 1987 to 1990 he was head of division in the Rhineland-Palatinate-Saarland state employment office, and then director of the Bad Kreuznach employment office for two years until 1992 . From 1992 to 1993 he worked as a consultant in the Ministry of Labor, Social Affairs, Family and Health of the State of Rhineland-Palatinate. From 1993 to 1998 he was the head of the job placement and job counseling department at the Landesarbeitsamt Nord. In 1998 he became State Secretary in the Ministry of Labor, Health and Social Affairs of Schleswig-Holstein for two years .

From 2001 to 2002 he was Vice President of the Federal Employment Agency, and since April 2002 he has been a member of the board of the Federal Employment Agency. In 2004 he was criticized in the affair of the skyrocketing costs of the online job exchange. Until 2007, Alt was responsible for the operational management of the Federal Agency. On February 1, 2007, the board areas were reorganized in the headquarters of the Federal Employment Agency . Alt was thus responsible for the basic security (SGB II or colloquially “Hartz IV”). Since the reorganization of the headquarters in June 2014, Alt has been the board member responsible for the labor market. Alt retired in July 2015. His successor was Detlef Scheele .

Heinrich Alt is married and has two children.

Controversy over Johannes Ponader

In an interview with the Bild newspaper , Alt criticized Johannes Ponader , the political director of the Pirate Party , who is politically active and at the same time receives social benefits . He saw in it self-realization "at the expense of the taxpayer". For his part, Ponader accused Alt of having called the chairman of the Pirate Party, Bernd Schlömer , to ask why the Ponader party was not paying a salary. According to Ponader, the office of federal managing director is an honorary position . Alt confirmed the call to the Bild newspaper . But he did this out of “a fundamental interest in the Pirate Party” and “certainly not because of Mr. Ponader”. On the other hand, when asked by stern.de , Alt's press officer wanted to “neither confirm nor deny” whether Ponader's ALG-II payments had been discussed in the conversation between Alt and Schlömer. According to the online magazine, however, it was “very much about Ponader's Hartz IV benefits”. In a separate article for the FAZ , Ponader had previously criticized Alt for breaking social secrecy .
