Pension refund
Hi All,
Finally i had a talk with Bfa people after my 2 year. I have sent my application(v400) to them and they requested me to send my Passport(Auswies) with my picture in it and validity should appear in your passport and a request letter stating that you need your money in your Checking account or Savings account like that.
Till now this is the main requirement. If any thing comes up, i will post you soon... but i don't think they need more...
regards,
Srikanth from USA.

Re: Pension refund
Hey Friends
I was working in germany on green card for 61 months then left. Now i have come back to work for 4 month project after 1 year, but my salary is paid in my home country. Do you think my waiting period of 2 year will start again or these 4 months will be included. I have done registration to town authorities and they have my passport for residance permit. but i was not issued any tax card.
If someone will share thier views will be great.

Re: Pension refund
Hi Jose,
if you pay tax to german government, yes then your 2 year period will start from the month when you stop paying taxes in germany. If your salary is paid in your home country, then you don't pay taxes in germany and your months in germany will not be included for your pension fund.

Re: Pension refund
Hi Shrikanth,
I am leaving Germany and had a talk with Bfa personnel about the pension refund. I had talk with Bfa personnel and they said that I can not get the money back because I worked here for more than 60 months.
But then I read on the site of Deutsche rentenversicherung (http://www.trust7....ation/pension_refund)
and asked few of my friends who got the money back even after their stay in Germany for more than 60 months.
Please share your views if you have faced the similar kind of problem..
Thanks,
Sweety![]()

Re: Pension refund
Hi Sweetyb,
pension fund refund claim depends on which country you come from. Most of the 2.wc you can claim even if you have worked over 60 months. so which country are your from?. there is also a country list on Bfa website.

Re: Pension refund
Hi,
Thanks for your reply. I am from India.
I called the Bfa people few days before and they told me that I can get the money back only after my retirement as I have worked here for more than 60 months.
This is also happened with one of my friend. She consulted one lawyer for this but got the same reply from the Bfa people that she won't get money back as she worked in Germany for more than 60 months.
If possible, could you please provide me the link where the list of countries is provided.
Thanks,
Sweety

Re: Pension refund
Hey, I am sure if you are from India, even though you worked over 60 months , you will be able to claim it after 2 years you leave De. Here is the list of countries who cannot claim before age of 65.

http://www.deutsch...abkommensstaaten.html
this is the page you get info.

I have seen an english verison of it back in 2005, but they removed it now.

Re: Pension refund
Hi Srikanth,
I am also currently in a kinda similar situation. I worked in Germany for 3 years and then moved to USA. I took 2 years mutterschafts urlaub. Which ended last month. I spoke to BFA (on line chat feature where you can chat with rep from BFA)and they said his you have stopped contributing to the pension fund 2 years back you can apply for getting your part of pension back.
Are you in USA too. What all did you do to apply for getting back your pension back being in the USA. Is form called v900
Thank you for all your help
