Re: Money which i paid for pension insurance

Hi Hassan.

Unemployment insurance means coverage when You are unemployed. In Ur case, U have been lucky enuff for not getting unemployed. Its just like health insurance, U pay the premium but U only benefit when U r in health problems. coming to the point, U dont get any thing back from the unemployment insurance contributions.

Talking about pension insurance, there is a very good article over here :

http://www.trust7....living_in_germany/faq

with the following subheading :

'Do I get back later the pension contributions I paid?'

have a look.

btw why r u leaving Germany ? if its not too personal
