German term or phrase:Anwartschaftserhaltungszeiten
Document about pension entitlement in Germany due to complete reduction in earning capacity. Context: contribution periods
Explanation: "Erhalten", here, is used in the sense of “aufrechterhalten” – maintain, secure
Maybe someone else comes up with a more concise term, but this is the gist of it.
Anwartschaftserhaltungsbeitrag
Besonderer freiwilliger Mindestbeitrag in den neuen Bundesländern (Beitrittsgebiet). Freiwillig Versicherte im Beitrittsgebiet können durch Zahlung eines geringeren freiwilligen Beitrages ihren Anspruch auf Berufs- und Erwerbsunfähigkeitsrente aufrecht erhalten.

Thanks for your help. I stuck with my own translation in the end. I think it's a difficult website to use - I still can't see where to add to the discussion. Many thanks. 3 KudoZ points were awarded for this answer

Asker: Thank you for your suggestion. I'm new to this forum - I don't know how to enter an answer on this page - how does that work? The phrase I came up with was "Periods of sustained entitlement" - what do you think? thanks!
Asker: Thanks for your help! I see the discussion box but I don't know how to access it, there is nothing on this page which says "add to discussion" or similar!
vesting periods (for accrued rights and expectancies)
Explanation: Vesting period, arguably, is all that is needed, namely the time during which the entitlements are safeguarded and at the end of which an employee leaving can claim an entitlement or a pension claimant a pension entitlement/expectancy.

Reference information: Anwartschaftserhaltungszeiten
Freiwillig Versicherte erhalten nur dann eine Erwerbsminderungsrente, wenn sie bereits vor dem 1. Januar 1984 die allgemeine Wartezeit von fünf Jahren (=60 Monaten) erfüllt hatten und ab 1. Januar 1984 jeden Monat mit rentenrechtlichen Zeiten belegt haben. Hierzu zählen:
• Beitragszeiten
• Anrechnungszeiten
• Berücksichtigungszeiten wegen Kindererziehung oder der nicht erwerbsmäßigen Pflege eines Pflegebedürftigen
• frühere Rentenbezugszeiten wegen Berufs- oder Erwerbsunfähigkeit
• Zeiten des gewöhnlichen Aufenthalts in den neuen Ländern vor 1992.
