Did you leave Germany for good and its already 24 months?
Citizens of countries whose pension system is not compatible with German system can claim their contribution of pension fund (Arbeitnehmeranteil and NOT Arbeitgeberanteil) after 24 months of leaving Germany.Have you worked in Germany? Are you from a country where social pension system is not compatible with German pension system? Do you want to claim the money you contributed to German Pension System? If you answered all the above questions as "YES" ,then keep reading this .. The contribution by the employee (claimant) will ONLY be paid and the contribution by employer will NOT be paid and its gone forever.The amount paid by employee and employer are same. If one had worked for 5 yrs and has contributed 30000 euros and the employer too at 30000 euros , will loose the 30000 paid by the employer if claimed. If the claim is not made , at age 67 the pension is paid monthly. It all depends what you wanna do.Instant half money or get pension from what you paid at age 67 from German government. One has to just download a form (V900) from the Deutsche REntenversicherung Bund and fill it and send it to their offices in Germany and in a few weeks if not months the money would be transfered to Inland (authorized person within Germany) or to your own bank account in your country. The form is called V900 at the time of writing this article and can be downloaded here Fill the form and send the necessary documentation (passport copy, attestation by notary in the form for any authorisation[Vollmacht],pension account statements etc) to Berlin and the process shall be complete and money transfered.
