Apply for rehabilitation aftercare from the pension insurance fund

Service Description

The rehabilitation aftercare services offered by the pension insurance fund help you to test and implement the knowledge and skills you have acquired during medical rehabilitation in your living environment.

This should enable you to cope better with your everyday life and return to work. Rehabilitation aftercare helps to ensure the success of the previous service.

Rehabilitation aftercare is as close as possible to your place of residence and is part-time.

Complex (multimodal) and less complex (unimodal) aftercare options are available to you:

  • Intensified rehabilitation aftercare (IRENA)
  • training-therapeutic rehabilitation aftercare (T-RENA)
  • Psychosomatic rehabilitation aftercare (Psy-RENA)

The aftercare services are provided by approved providers throughout Germany, such as rehabilitation facilities, physiotherapists, psychotherapists and addiction counseling centers. You can use the search portal for pension insurance aftercare services and approved aftercare providers to search for a provider close to your home using your zip code.

On application, you can be reimbursed a flat-rate travel allowance of EUR 5.00 per appointment for your participation in rehab aftercare.

You do not have to pay anything extra. Your participation in rehabilitation aftercare is voluntary.

  • you have applied for a full pension or are drawing a full old-age pension or
  • you are drawing a partial old-age pension of at least 2 thirds of the full pension.

After completing medical rehabilitation, you can also make use of follow-up care if you

  • have applied for a reduced earning capacity pension,
  • are unemployed or unable to work,
  • take advantage of gradual reintegration after rehabilitation,
  • a recommendation has been made by the rehabilitation facility to review the guidelines for participation in working life.
