Overview

• The flat top‑up under Section 307j SGB IV remains in place through Nov. 30, 2025, then shifts to an integrated, individualized regime under Section 307i starting Dec. 1.
• From the cutoff date of Nov. 30, recalculations use each person’s insurance periods and pension points, and the resulting amount will move dynamically with future pension adjustments.
• If the newly calculated total exceeds the previous pension plus the supplement, a one‑time payment covers the gap for the 17‑month transition from July 2024 to November 2025.
• If the new calculation yields a lower amount, pension insurance will not reclaim any sums previously paid via the flat supplement.
• All affected beneficiaries will receive new pension notices from Dec. 1 and are urged to review them promptly because appeals must be filed within four weeks.
