Pensioners can soon look forward to more money.
When the increased pension is paid depends on when the pension begins.
The German Pension Insurance Association points this out.
The approximately 21 million pensioners in Germany will receive more money on July 1st.
The reason is the annual pension adjustment.
"The pension plus will not be transferred to all pensioners at the same time," as the German Pension Insurance Association in Berlin informed in a statement on June 9th.
In the old federal states, pensions will increase by 5.35 percent as of July 1, 2022, and by 6.12 percent in the new federal states.

Pension adjustment: Higher pension does not reach everyone at the same time
When the
increased pension is paid
depends on
when the pension begins
: “Those who received their pension by March 2004 will already receive the adjusted pension at the end of June.
If the pension started in April 2004 or later, the plus will not be on the account until the end of July," says the statement from the German pension insurance on their website.
The payment is made automatically.
