Overview
- From December 2025 roughly three million disability pensioners receive a single combined monthly transfer instead of separate end‑of‑month and mid‑month payments.
- The supplement is now determined from individual Entgeltpunkte rather than the pension amount, which may produce follow‑up payments for some recipients without reducing overall benefits.
- For pensions starting on or after April 1, 2004, the January 2026 payment will post on Friday, January 30, because January 31 falls on a Saturday.
- For pensions that began before April 1, 2004 and are paid in advance, the January 2026 amount was scheduled for Tuesday, December 30, 2025 due to December 31 being a non‑business bank holiday.
- The Renten‑Service of Deutsche Post executes transfers, banks can credit funds up to 23:59 on the relevant bank day, and beneficiaries should verify statements and contact the service if a booking is missing.
