Arbeitslosengeld & Wohngeld -> relation to citizenship application

Hello,

I am in my last month of PhD and employment. I apply for ALG1 from September on. I recently took permanent residence and will have my degree in the upcoming 2 months.

I have all documents ready for citizenship application.

1. Does it make sense to apply now to be on the line while employed and then inform them about my ALG once it starts?

2. Can Wohngeld and ALG1 be taken simultaneously? My rent is more than half of my ALG1 that is why I want to apply for Wohngeld.

3. Wohngeld does not seem to be counted under the citizenship-risking social benefit (SZB categories, does anyone have positive experience to have received Wohngeld and still get the citizenship?

Thank you very much in advance :)
