What does Änderungsbescheid mean?
An Änderungsbescheid (amending notice) changes an earlier Bescheid, for example the amount of a benefit or a tax.
der Änderungsbescheid · die Änderungsbescheide (plural)
An office often changes a Bescheid because something has changed. For example your income, your rent or the number of people in your household.
Compare the new Bescheid with the old one. Check from when the change applies and whether the figures are right.
You can usually file a Widerspruch or an Einspruch against an Änderungsbescheid. The deadline is in the Rechtsbehelfsbelehrung.
Example sentence
Mit diesem Bescheid ändern wir die Höhe Ihrer Leistungen ab dem 01.11.2026.
With this Bescheid, we change the amount of your benefits from 01.11.2026.
What you can do
Keep all Bescheide from one year together. That makes it easier to see what has changed.
