subject: RAV, Bestätigung des Vorsorgeschutzes für die Risiken Tod und Invalidät

Hi all,
unfortunately I was laid off. I have sent all requested documents to RAV and after 5 wks received the letter of reminder saying the following:
…… Wir möchten Sie freundlich daran erinnern, dass Sie uns nohc nicht all nterlagen eingereich haben. Erneut geben wir Ihnene die gelegenheit uns, die folgenden Dokumenten zuzustellen:
• Bestätigung des Vorsorgeschutzes für die Risiken Tod und Invalidät Ihrer beschirigen Pensionkasse (Sollten Sie entgegn Ihrer Angaben auf dem Antrag keine Weiterführung der obligatorischen Vorsorge veranlasst haben, so bitten wir Sie uns dies schriftlich zu bestätgen.)

My pension plan is being terminated. Do I need to have another life and disability insurance? If so, where should I purchase it?

Thank you,
Jasham

The part in bold means that you will have to let them know in writing if your pension plan is terminated. It seems that you indicated on the form that the plan will continue. Hence they want a proof of the continuation.

On your Application for Unemployment Compensation (Antrag auf Arbeitslosenentschädigung), I suspect that you answered "Ja" to question 21 when you probably should have answered "Nein". If this is the case, you need to write to the Arbeitslosenkasse that your response to question 21 should have been "Nein".

Thank you very much both, irish temptation and Mullhollander. I am going to correct the question 21 to "Nein". Does RAV want that I purchase another a new life&disability insurance? will they be happy if I just say I don't have an insurance?
thanks again.
