Important pension information: Report any address changes immediately, otherwise no money!

It is important for pensioners to ensure that they provide their current address to the pension service to ensure they continue to receive their pension. [Chip] reports that moving in retirement can affect pension payments. Although the pension will continue to be paid even after moving, there is a risk that the pension adjustment notice will be sent to the old address.

The pension service makes efforts to determine the new address for returns. However, if the address determination is not completed successfully, this may lead to the suspension of pension payments in order to avoid overpayments. For this reason, it is important for pensioners to inform the pension service of their new address when moving. Failure to do so could result in significant financial difficulties.

Correct handling of address changes

In order to avoid confusion, pensioners should definitely take action when moving. Even if pension payments are temporarily suspended, payment can be resumed as soon as the person concerned reports with the new address. There are several ways to communicate the new address.

• Rentner können ihre neue Adresse direkt online über die Webseite des Post Rentenservices mitteilen.
• Änderungen wie Namen oder Kontoinformationen sind ebenfalls über die Webseite problemlos möglich.
• Schriftliche Mitteilungen sind an die Deutsche Post AG, Niederlassung Renten Service, 13497 Berlin zu senden, wobei die Postrentennummer angegeben werden muss.

Forms for changing addresses are also available at post offices. Alternatively, the change form can be downloaded and completed online to save time. [Deutsche Rentenversicherung] points out that address changes should not be sent by email to avoid misunderstandings. A form for submitting the new address (change of address V0150) is available online.

Similar to other changes, the pension service automatically forwards the data to the insurance company, so pensioners do not have to worry about this step separately. This greatly simplifies the process and ensures that all necessary information is updated in a timely manner.

Overall, it is therefore essential that pensioners act proactively to ensure the smooth receipt of their pension payments. Address updates are not a bureaucratic effort, but an important step in avoiding financial bottlenecks.
