The German Pension InsuranceThe German mandatory Pension Insurance was until recently divided into the Federal Insurance Administration for Employees (Bundesversicherungsanstalt für Angestellte), more than 16 state-level administrations and additional insurance carriers tailored to special professions such as miners, merchant mariners, railroad employees etc,). All these individual carriers and administrations have been (with few exceptions) combined into one single administration called “Deutsche Rentenversicherung – Bund” with regional offices in each state (Bundesland). Thus, Germany has since 2005 a standardized insurance carrier. With this streamlining it has now become easier to investigate and satisfy valid claims. Office
