What does Widerspruchsbescheid mean?

With the Widerspruchsbescheid, the office decides on your Widerspruch.

der Widerspruchsbescheid · die Widerspruchsbescheide (plural)

The office can agree with you fully or partly. But it can also reject the Widerspruch. Then the Bescheid stays as it is.

There is no new Widerspruch against a Widerspruchsbescheid. The next step is usually a Klage (lawsuit) at a court.

The Klage has its own deadline. You find it in the Rechtsbehelfsbelehrung at the end of the Widerspruchsbescheid.

Example sentence

Der Widerspruch vom 14.07.2026 wird als unbegründet zurückgewiesen.

The Widerspruch of 14.07.2026 is rejected as unfounded.
