The basic pension has been in force for a few months.

However, pensioners have not yet received them.

For the first, that should change in the foreseeable future.

The

basic pension

came into force on January 1, 2021.

Pensioners

who have worked

for many years

and

earned below average

, as the German Federal Pension Insurance Association explained, are

entitled

to the basic

pension supplement.

But so far no pensioner has received a payment in his account, nor have there been any basic pension notices.

As is well known, the payment had been delayed. * The introduction of the basic pension was associated with considerable administrative effort, the German pension insurance had explained to the background.

Without application: First basic pension notices from July

But now it is reportedly going to start soon: The German pension insurance plans to

start paying out

step by step

soon

, wrote the

Augsburger Allgemeine

in its online edition. The first recipients could receive their basic pension in the coming month. "

From July 2021

the surcharge was paid to pensioners who then received a pension notification for the first time, "the German pension insurance reported on request, as the portal

augsburger-allgemeine.de

specifically writes.

An exact date will be set shortly, the portal also quotes the Deutsche Rentenversicherung.

The payment of the basic pension should then begin soon, as announced - but not all those entitled will receive money as early as July 2021.

Information on basic pension entitlement

The German Press Agency (dpa) had also reported - a few months ago - that

the first notifications

should be

sent from July 2021

Anyone who, as a so-called new pensioner, receives their pension notification from the start of the mailing campaign in July will also receive information as to

whether they are entitled to a basic pension

, wrote dpa (as of April 22).

For everyone who had received their pension notification earlier, the right to the basic pension supplement is checked separately.

“We start with the oldest vintages, then the younger vintages follow step by step.

The last cases will be called by the end of 2022, "the dpa report said.

And: “If the check shows that there is an entitlement, those affected receive a new pension notification.

This also provides information on the amount of the surcharge.

Amounts to which there is a claim from January 2021 will be paid in arrears. ”Those who, on the other hand, are not entitled to a surcharge, will not be notified.
