German Federal and State Government Employees’ Retirement Fund (VBL) – supplementary pension scheme

The German Federal and State Government Employees’ Retirement Fund (VBL) is a pension scheme for public service employees funded by the federal and state governments. It provides company pension scheme benefits. Public service employees are covered by compulsory insurance in the VBL based on the collective agreement on company or supplementary pension schemes for public service employees (ATV). In addition, the VBL also offers options for voluntary insurance. Those employed in academia can apply for exemption from compulsory insurance.
