In 2007 the Federal Government adopted an ordinance relating to work in a ghetto. It states that entitled persons are to receive a one-time payment to the amount of 2,000 euro.
In July 2011 the Federal Government issued a new version of this Directive for a one-time payment. Under this new version, which has retroactive effect from 6 October 2007, this one-time payment can be received even by those whose work in a ghetto has been or could be taken into account in a pension claim.
Who should take action?
- Those who worked in a ghetto but have not yet made an application for a recognition payment
- Those who have refrained from applying for a pension or for the recognition payment because they received the respective other payment.
