The Insurance Office of the City of Aachen would like to point out that employers will be handing out the annual "Social Security Notification" to their employees over the next few weeks. This contains information on the duration of employment and the amount of earnings. As the data is very important for your future pension, employees should check it carefully when they receive it. Incorrect information can have a negative impact on the pension amount and possible pension entitlements.

Data to be checked includes names, insurance number, length of employment and gross earnings. If employees discover any errors, they should inform their employer and request a correction. Employees should also keep the annual notification as it serves as proof of the pension contributions paid.

If you have any questions about pensions, the insurance office will help you free of charge. Further information can be found at www.aachen.de/rente.
