Pension information issue

The pension information contains

• Information on the expected amount of your standard old-age pension,
• a forecast of the pension you will get if you continue to work,
• Information about the amount of your reduced earning capacity pension,
• Information on the earliest possible pension start date for early retirement pensions with information on pension deductions,
• Details of the widow's or widower's pension your partner will receive if you die,
• Details of contributions paid to date to the statutory pension insurance scheme,
• Among other things, advice and information on the prerequisites for all old-age pensions, on how to apply for a pension, on additional earnings, on the insurance history, on private old-age provision, on taxation, on information and counselling options and on health insurance for pensioners,
• if no account clarification has been carried out yet: information on which periods have not yet been clarified (these are periods of which the pension insurance does not know whether they can be taken into account for your later pension),
• an overview of the saved insurance periods,
• an overview of the values and factors used to calculate your personal earning points and your standard old-age pension.

Note:
The pension statement is not the same as the pension information (often referred to as the "pension notice") that you receive every year from the age of 27. The pension information provides very comprehensive information about other pension entitlements. As soon as you reach the age of 55, you will automatically receive a pension statement every 3 years instead of pension information. However, you can also request this information if you are younger.
