German Pensioners Warned: Act Now on DRV Demands or Face Expired Debts
Pensioners in Germany are advised to be vigilant about demands from the German Pension Insurance (DRV). A recent court ruling underscores the importance of knowing and adhering to deadlines for these demands. Failing to do so could result in making expired payments.
The DRV is entitled to reclaim money from pension recipients in cases of overpayments, such as when recipients received too high disability pensions, excess survivor's pensions, or social benefits paid without proper legal basis. These reclaim rights can apply retroactively up to four years, as demonstrated by recent court rulings and legal cases. Pension experts warn seniors to carefully consider these demands and check their validity to avoid making expired payments.
The deadline for DRV demands does not extend with mere letters or reminders. Only a new official notice can change it. Therefore, it's crucial for pensioners to keep track of these deadlines to avoid potential financial burdens.
Pensioners should be aware of their rights and obligations regarding DRV demands. They should check the validity of these demands, know the deadlines, and respond appropriately to avoid making expired payments. If unsure, consulting with a pension expert is recommended.
