Hi guys,
As i am in process of moving from germany , so i want to know what will happen with my money (pension insuranance) & (unemployment insurance) that i paid in last 2.5 years. I was nto unemployed for even a single day.
Will i get that money back , if yes how ?

thanks

Hi Hassan.

Unemployment insurance means coverage when You are unemployed. In Ur case, U have been lucky enuff for not getting unemployed. Its just like health insurance, U pay the premium but U only benefit when U r in health problems. coming to the point, U dont get any thing back from the unemployment insurance contributions.

Talking about pension insurance, there is a very good article over here :

with the following subheading :

'Do I get back later the pension contributions I paid?'

have a look.

btw why r u leaving Germany ? if its not too personal
