Pension insurance - Request pension information
You can enquire about the status of your insurance account at Deutsche Rentenversicherung at any time.
You will receive pension information about
- the most important personal data on your statutory pension and
- Your current pension entitlements. The outlook for your future pension (extrapolation) reveals possible gaps in your pension provision. This provides you with reliable planning data so that you can make additional private or company pension provision.
The first pension information also contains your insurance history. This is a list of all the data stored in your account. This information is important in order to be able to correct any gaps in your pension account by providing appropriate evidence.
