supplementary benefits in a capital recovery system


Explanation:
This expression is part of the "Rentenreform" discussion in Germany, but I could not find any related English terms for this. So I am not really sure.

Zusatzvorsorge is also usually expressed as "Zusatzversorgung", which means that people in addition to their (public) pension provide a certain share of securing their livelyhood by themselves, e.g. with stocks or life insurance contracts and funds (this is the capital recovery part)

I used expressions from Eichborn, Wirtschaft and Wirtschaftsrecht dictionary.

funded supplemental pension


Explanation:
This would make sense for
kapitalgedeckte Zusatzvorsorge
and ref 1 actually is entitled:
Rentenreform - Kapitalgedeckte Zusatzvorsorge

For the English, ref. 2.

Does not match your phrase as written.

Explanation:
While I agree with Hans-Henning's explanation, this is not about "capital recovery" as such, rather the capital is used, i.e. accumulated/formed, to cover future (supplementary) pension entitlements/benefits.

"Capital recovery system" is therefore misleading.

disagree  Alexander Schleber (X): "Vorsorge" has to do with health insurance, not pensions, I think.

  -> Nope, in this context it's the Altersvorsorge (retirement provisions) - see Hans-Henning's explanation

capital funded supplemental medical insurance


Explanation:
Zusatzvorsorge" ->"Vorsorge" ->prevention. The term is also frewuently used in German for medical prevention and medical care.

The "supplemental medical insurance" party of my answer gets more than 3000 hits on Google.
