Apply for rehabilitation aftercare from the pension insurance fund

Procedure

The need for aftercare services is determined at the rehabilitation facility where you underwent medical rehabilitation.

• You can claim rehabilitation aftercare if

• the participation benefit has been completed,
• individual problem areas still need to be addressed in order to ensure the long-term success of your rehabilitation - for example, lack of exercise and obesity,
• at the end of medical rehabilitation, the patient is able to work at least 3 hours on the general labor market or
• there is a positive employment prognosis.

• The recommendation for rehabilitation aftercare is deemed to be a cost commitment for the aftercare provider
• a separate decision is not made by the responsible pension insurance provider.

Subsequent determination of need:

If your need for aftercare services was not determined at the rehabilitation facility, you can submit an application to your responsible pension insurance provider within 4 weeks of completing your medical rehabilitation.
