What does Überprüfungsantrag mean?

With an Überprüfungsantrag (request for review), you ask an office such as the Jobcenter to check an old Bescheid again.

der Überprüfungsantrag · die Überprüfungsanträge (plural)

In social law, this is possible even when the deadline for a Widerspruch has already passed.

If the Bescheid was wrong, the office usually has to change it. But it only pays money back for a limited period.

If the deadline for a Widerspruch is still running, a Widerspruch is usually the better choice.

Example sentence

Hiermit beantrage ich die Überprüfung des Bescheids vom 18.03.2026.

I hereby request a review of the Bescheid of 18.03.2026.
