Post-grading: Hi Klaus, may I suggest 'wage replacement benefits' as an even more appropriate option here -- broader usage (and sense) than 'payments'.

neutral  Derek Gill Franßen: Sure, like "unemployment benefits" and "welfare". :-) // I've changed my comment because I think Brie's suggestion may be a bit more precise.

Unemployment benefit


Explanation:
http://www.toytownmunich.com/wiki/Ich-AG

"An Ich AG is a one person company. You get financial benefits from the government for three years. The idea is that instead of claiming unemployment benefits whilst looking for a job, you instead start your own business and get money to help you do that.

The benefits are €600 per month for the first year, €360 for the second, and €260 for the third. These are tax free.

To qualify you must first register as unemployed. This is a simple matter of going to the Arbeitsamt and filling out a form which says "I am unemployed"."

agree  Derek Gill Franßen: ...would also work (IMHO). :-) // In fact, this may be more precise: welfare payments and unemployment benefits are also regular income (for some, unfortunately). :-(
