What to do before the case splits into different paths
Handle the practical steps first, then move into the correct pension path.
Check your move-out timing and what is still open
Clarify whether deregistration is still pending. Timing details can affect your pension path later.
Complete deregistration through the partner route
Deregistration (Abmeldung) belongs to the partner path. It stays explicitly separated from the pension claim process.
Move into Pension Refund when the case is ready
Once deregistration is handled or no longer blocking, continue into the refund-led Fundsback path.
Ready for the right next step?
Use the guide for orientation, then continue into the matching service path or contact once the next action is clear.
