Have trainees to pay GEZ

In Germany, trainees are generally required to pay the GEZ (now known as the ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio Beitragsservice) fee, which is the broadcasting license fee. This fee applies to all households and is not dependent on income or employment status. However, trainees with very low income may qualify for exemptions or reductions, depending on their financial situation. It's advisable for trainees to check their eligibility for any possible discounts.
