The increase is paid with any pension drawn without a rate reduction, on an alternating basis or in full, and is automatically activated at 55 years of age at the latest for a settlement from 2021. A pension drawn from 60 years of age comes with the increase if the scheme member has worked for at least 20 years of pensionable service in total.

The increase is paid until the statutory retirement age under the basic scheme for the generation of the scheme member.
