Health insurance contributions will have increased in 2024 for everyone with statutory health insurance. The increase for legally insured pensioners will only come into force two months later.
For this group, the additional contribution only increases from March, which means that the monthly pension payment only decreases from this point onwards. Changes in the health insurance contribution, both decreases and increases, always only affect pension payments two months after they are made. Only in exceptional cases, such as if the pension is transferred to another person's account, does the pension insurance company send written notices.
