The German foreign pension law (FRG) became as a component (kind 1) of the foreign pension and pension reorganization law (CATCH) from 25 February 1960 (BGBl. I P. 93) retroactively to 1 January 1959 into force set. Furthermore with its application are to be considered the temporary agreements CATCH (kind 6).
Already in the first years after end of war on regional level individual refugee pension laws were issued. The foreign pension and pension law (FAG) from 7 August 1953 (BGBl brought federally uniform regulations then for the first time. I P. 848), which stepped retroactively to 1 April 1952 into force. It was based on the remuneration principle, is called the requirements which are entitled after the FAG substantially contributed from the requirements and claims lost in the origin area.
To 1 January 1959 then the FRG came into force. - Apart from smaller changes and additions - approximately 30 years with its regulations remained to a large extent invariably. The right development in the German old age pension insurance, the actual and legal changes in the origin areas and not least the end of the 80's evacuees dramatically risen pay required an adjustment of the foreign pension right. This taken place in the context of the pension reform law 1992 (RRG '92). Emphasis of the changes lay in the reinforcement of the integration principle and in the larger differentiation during the evaluation of the times, with which possible good positions that should be avoided in individual cases FRG entitling opposite the native insured ones. The changes came into force at different times, predominantly to 1 July 1990, partly also to 1 January 1992.
Before these reorganizations could become effective, the FRG became needy as consequence of the political development of Germany again reform. As immediate measure the range of application of the FRG was limited regarding the GDR times by kind 23 "§ 1 convention law. The final corrections took place then via the pension transition law (REPRIMAND). The changes stood in particular in connection with the standardization of the pension right (extending the FRG to the entry area, non-application of the FRG to GDR times) and the modification of the integration principle (orientation of the evaluation at conditions in the entry area). They came into force to 1 August 1991 and 1 January 1992. Smaller retroactive corrections to REPRIMAND took place via the pension transition auxiliary law ErgG).
Then growth and occupation promotion law (WFG) brought clear cuts into the FRG achievements. It strengthened with REPRIMANDS sinking begun of the table codes, with which an integration was to be simulated into structure-weak areas of Germany. For again tightening entitled ones the FRG achievements were limited to a maximum value. These two changes stepped to 7. May 1996 into force. Besides there were some smaller adjustments to 1 January 1997 still to the general pension right. The changes by the pension reform law 1999 (RRG'99) were not so important. (To 1 July 1998 effective) the improvements during the evaluation of the child educating times were transferred to the FRG; at the same time however the child educating times (as also the military service periods) were included into the general sinking of the values. Otherwise there were only smaller corrections.
Same applies to the following changes of title by different laws. A substantial restriction of the requirements on survivor's pensions brought the age fortune auxiliary law (AVmEG) to 1 January 2002.
The entry of numerous countries of origin to the European union had no effects on the FRG in principle. Its application remained; partly due to appropriate entries into the appendix of the VO (EEC) No. 1408/71, partly due to a new possession protection regulation in the context of the check valve lastingness law.
Starting point for the creation of the FRG was "§ 90 at that time the Federal Laws on Expelled Persons (BVFG). There it was regulated that
This legal basis was created by the FRG. It applied up to the combination of Germany also to GDR circumstances, since 1 January 1992 only to foreign circumstances.
The FRG is coined/shaped by the integration thought; that is called the entitled ones is in such a way treated as if they would have spent their insurance life not in the country of origin, but in Germany. On the basis of this principle the FRG contains primarily of regulations whether and if necessary which strange times in the German old age pension insurance on an equal footing and how these are evaluated. During the evaluation of the times the basic principle is by REPRIMANDS and WFG going by modified the fact that the integration does not take place after all-German conditions but at structure-weak areas and at the income structure of the GDR orients itself.
Typical countries with FRG entitling are among other things Yugoslavia, Poland, Czechoslovakia and succession states, Hungary, Romania, Soviet Union.
