Kommunaler Versorgungsverband Brandenburg

What Kommunaler Versorgungsverband Brandenburg does

Kommunaler Versorgungsverband Brandenburg (KVBbg) is a Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts (public law corporation) headquartered in Gransee, Germany, operating under the supervision of the Ministerium des Innern des Landes Brandenburg. It serves as the statutory administrative body for all municipal employers in the German state of Brandenburg across four core service lines: Beamtenversorgung (civil servant pensions), Beihilfe (healthcare cost subsidies for illness, care, and birth cases), Zusatzversorgung (supplementary occupational pensions under the Betriebsrente point-system), and Zentraler Personalservice (ZPS), a centralized HR services platform. Its membership consists of cities, towns, counties, municipal associations, and public law institutions across Brandenburg, with mandatory participation governed by state law.

The ZPS platform is built on the P&I LOGA HR suite, delivering payroll processing (Bezügeabrechnung), time management (Zeitwirtschaft), position planning (Stellenplan), and a web-based employee and manager self-service portal (LOGA3). Data exchange with the supplementary pension system uses the DATÜV-ZVE standardized format, and member-facing online forms run on the Lucom Interaction Platform. Supplementary digital products include the Beihilfe App for mobile subsidy claims and the Digitale Rentenübersicht for consolidated pension visibility across providers, developed in cooperation with Deutsche Rentenversicherung. Webinars and regional consultation days, delivered via Microsoft Teams and in-person events, round out the member engagement model.

KVBbg is funded through mandatory contribution rates (Umlage at 1.1% and Zusatzbeitrag at 4.8% of pensionable income) and fees for centralized HR services. The organization is not venture-backed, not publicly traded, and has no parent company; it is governed by its member municipalities and operates under state oversight. The supplementary pension scheme was introduced on 1 January 1997 through collective bargaining in the new federal states of Germany. No revenue figures are publicly disclosed.
