The sixth book of the Social Security Code ( SGB ​​VI ) contains the law of statutory pension insurance in Germany . It essentially came into force on January 1, 1992. It replaced the pension insurance regulations of the Reich Insurance Code (RVO), the Employees Insurance Act (AVG) and the Reichsknappschaftsgesetz (RKG).

As a result of the law on organizational reform in the statutory pension insurance of December 9, 2004 ( Federal Law Gazette I p. 3242 , coming into force on January 1, 2005), significant changes have occurred since October 1, 2005, especially in the area of ​​responsibilities and structure (see German Pension insurance ).
