As a federal corporation under public law with self-administration, it is subject to legal supervision by the Federal Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs (Section 393 Para. 1 SGB III).

In a few areas, the ministry also has the right to issue instructions and carries out technical supervision, e.g. for unemployment statistics (Section 283 Para. 2 SGB III) and the employment of foreigners and immigrants (Section 288 Para. 2 SGB III).

As special departments of the Federal Employment Agency, family allowance offices are responsible for implementing child benefit and for calculating and paying child supplements in accordance with Section 6a of the BKGG.

BA employs around 113,000 (as of 2023) workers. 42,900 work in the joint facilities - Job Center, while 5,200 work in the family allowance office). The Federal Employment Agency is one of the largest authorities in Germany and one of the largest employers in the federal government. A separate collective agreement applies to the employees.

Their balance was expected to be 1.7 billion euros in 2023.

BA offices at regional level are called regional directorates, and at local level they are called employment agencies.
