Procedure

            			
You can inform the Künstlersozialkasse online or by post about your pension application or pension entitlement. The same applies if there are any changes to your pension. 

Online notification: 


  • Call up the online form on the federal portal verwaltung.bund.de. This will guide you step by step through the necessary information, which you can enter electronically.
  • Note: You will need your electronic ID document to log in to the online form.
  • It will take you about 15 minutes to complete the online form.
  • First enter your personal details, including your insurance number. You will find this on the letter from the Künstlersozialkasse in the top right-hand corner.
  • On the next page, select the topic you would like to tell us about.
  • By selecting this option, you will receive general information on the subject of pensions.
  • Then select your specific request and provide more detailed information.
  • If available, you can upload the necessary supporting documents.

Notification by post: 


  • If you have applied for a pension, please inform the Künstlersozialkasse informally first.
  • Submit a copy of the pension certificate to the Künstlersozialkasse as soon as possible.
  • To do this, fill out the PDF form "Notification of receipt of a pension from the statutory pension insurance scheme" on the website of the Künstlersozialkasse.
  • If you already receive a pension and your pension entitlement changes, please inform the Künstlersozialkasse informally about the nature of the change. You do not have to notify the (annual) pension adjustments.
  • Please always state your insurance number. This can be found at the top right of the letter from the Künstlersozialkasse.
  • Sign your informal notification or the printed PDF form and enclose the required documents.
  • Send everything together to the Künstlersozialkasse.

Please answer any queries from the pension insurance provider and the Künstlersozialkasse immediately.  

At the end of the procedure, you will receive a notification from the Künstlersozialkasse by post.
