Category German pension application

The pension system in Germany is specifically designed to provide financial support to retirees to ensure a comfortable standard of living during their retirement years. This comprehensive system consists of several elements, including the state pension, occupational pension and private pension schemes.

The survivor's pension in Germany is a financial support designed to provide security for the next of kin of a deceased pensioner. It is based on a fixed percentage of the pension that the deceased received or should have received. The exact amount of this pension is tied to similar criteria as the deceased's retirement pension.
