one-sixth of the annual income
Your understanding is correct, and there is no succinct English equivalent, at least not one that's understood throughout the English-speaking world.
Bezüge gemäß Paragraph 67/1 und 2 (innerhalb des J/6) could be translated as "earnings in the sense of Section 67/1 and 2 (up to one-sixth of the annual income)"

: This is, strictly speaking, correct, but if your reader doesn't already understand the concept of J/6, he won't understand this.

bimonthly
The sentence is "innerhalb des J/6", which exactly means within 2 months. If some money is paid on a "J/6" basis, then one can use "bimonthly".
