In General
As the recipient of social security payments from a German insurance
carrier you can have your payments transferred into a bank account
abroad. The amount of the pay-outs depends, however, on the status
of the recipient's citizenship and on the country of residence and
on the currency exchange rate, which may vary from month to month.
You can apply for your pension with the German Social Security Administration
from any country outside of Germany. All you have to do is request
the proper application forms from the Administration in German
(!) and make sure that all supporting documentation is stated in the
German language.
We are specialized in assisting pensioners who are living abroad
and will handle all business with the German insurance carriers in
a professional way.
We are offering our 'wrap-around' service, which goes beyond the
basic correspondence such as the assistance with your application
for pension, the checking upon the correctness of your account, the
gathering of all proofs and documentation and the investigation of
missing records and more.
The
Social Security Agreement Between Germany And The USA
The
respective Social Security Administrations of Germany and the
USA have signed an agreement, which guarantees pension
payouts to
citizens residing in each partner-country, also called 'Sozialversicherungsabkommen'.
In general the agreement stipulates that the partner-countries view
each others' citizen as their own in regard to social security matters.
The agreement also states that under certain circumstances credit
will be given to the insured for time periods even when no contributions
have been paid during those times.
Make sure you secure these benefits as they are offered in this
agreement. You can that way increase the yields of your contributions.
We are specialized in assisting anybody who is residing in the USA
and who will at some time expect pension pay-outs from the German
Social Security Administration
Procedure
In general, if you fulfill all requirements, you are allowed
to receive your pension from Germany simultaneously with
any Social Security
payouts from the USA, or any other country for that matter.
All you have to do is ask us to assist you with setting up your
application and to guide you through the laborious and complex process
until success is guaranteed.
You need to apply for your US pension with the US Social Security
Administration. Upon request our American partner can assist you
there as well.
