Pension start date
Enter here the date on which the pension begins.
The start of the pension is the point in time from which the pension is actually granted (possibly after retrospective allowance) (cf. pension approval notice).
If you received a one-time payment in 2022, please enter the date on which you obtained the one-time payment.
Request a cost-free statement from the German Pension Insurance (Deutsche Rentenversicherung) called "Notification for submission to the tax office" (Mitteilung zur Vorlage beim Finanzamt) using our sample letter. The statement contains all amounts relevant for tax purposes with instructions on which lines of the tax forms the values are to be entered. Once you have applied for the statement, it will be sent to you automatically in subsequent years.
You can also call the telephone hotline 0800 1000 480 70 of the German Pension Insurance (Deutsche Rentenversicherung).
