The Bavarian Supply Chamber (BVK) is a higher authority of the Free State of Bavaria in the division of the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior and acts as a pension fund within the framework of the civil service provision . It emerged in 1995 as "Bavarian Insurance Chamber - Supply", but this full name is not used in business transactions, from the Bavarian Insurance Chamber, whose activity for the pension institutions has continued ever since.

Management and representative body

The Bavarian Pension Chamber runs the business of twelve professional and municipal pension institutions (see professional pension ), which provide retirement , disability and survivor benefits for their members and insured persons. She is the legal representative of these pension institutions. The management as well as the representation in and out of court is carried out by a board of five people.

Service and competence center

As the largest public service group in Germany, the Bavarian Chamber of Supply is a service and competence center for professional and municipal pension schemes. The business area extends to the territory of the Free State of Bavaria, for some pension institutions also to other federal states due to state treaties and for three federally direct institutions to the entire federal territory.

Professional pension institutions in the narrower sense are the pension funds for independent professions that are based on statutory compulsory membership. They are legally responsible institutions under public law with self-administration and offer their members comprehensive pension, occupational disability and survivors' benefits. The Bavarian Supply Chamber administers the

  • Bavarian medical care ,
  • Bavarian pharmacy supply,
  • Bavarian architect supply,
  • Bavarian lawyers and tax advisors as well as the
  • Bavarian engineering supply building with psychotherapist supply.

In addition to these full supply systems for the independent professions, the Bavarian Supply Chamber also administers the

  • Pension Fund of the German Theaters (for employees at German theaters),
  • Supply institution of the German cultural orchestras (for cultural orchestra musicians),
  • Supply company of the German district chimney sweepers and the
  • Pension fund for journeyman chimney sweepers with a pension fund for the chimney sweep trade

These pension funds supplement the benefits of the statutory pension insurance in the field of old-age, occupational disability and survivors' benefits.

In the area of ​​municipal pension schemes, a basic distinction can also be made between full pension and supplementary pension systems. The Bavarian Supply Chamber administers here

  • the Bavarian Supply Association and
  • the supplementary pension fund of the Bavarian municipalities.

While the pensions of civil servants are financed directly from the respective budgets by the federal and state governments without the involvement of an external provider, the retirement pensions of civil servants in the municipal and church sector are predominantly provided by civil servants' pension funds - in Bavaria by the Bavarian pension association, which was founded in 1916 as a legal institution under public law - ensured. These were created for the purpose of protecting their members from random fluctuations in supply burdens in the interest of an even burden on municipal budgets by distributing these burdens through a pay-as-you-go system within the framework of the solidarity community.

The supplementary pension in the public service, on the other hand, is a company pension scheme based on a collective agreement with the aim of increasing the old-age security of workers and employees in the public service through a company pension. The benefits come in addition to the pension from the statutory pension insurance. For the Bavarian municipalities as well as for other municipal and church employers, this task is fulfilled by the supplementary pension fund of the Bavarian municipalities - an unincorporated institution (special fund) of the Bavarian pension association - which provides its insured persons with a supplementary pension according to the content of the current version by way of private insurance who provides collective wage agreements. Since January 1, 2002, the supplementary pension has been gradually transferred from a pay-as-you-go to a funded procedure. For this purpose, only employers pay levies and contributions. However, until January 1, 1978, it was also possible for employees to deposit funds. The insured can obtain higher insurance through voluntary insurance with their own contributions.

After all, the Bavarian Chamber of Supply administers the Bavarian State Parliament's pension scheme.

As a corporation under public law, the pension fund of the Bavarian State Parliament guarantees the supply of those MPs who left the Bavarian State Parliament by October 27, 1978 and who have not submitted an application for a state pension under the Bavarian Representatives Act or who are still members of the Bavarian Parliament beyond this point in time Landtag and have decided on a mixed supply, in which the benefits of the pension fund are taken into account. The old-age, occupational disability and survivors' benefits of this pension fund are financed exclusively by subsidies from the State of Bavaria.

A distinction must be made here that the State Office for Finance (LfF) is responsible for determining, arranging and billing the salaries for civil servants , employees and pension recipients in the Free State of Bavaria .
