German term or phrase: Anrechnungszeiten im Beitrittsgebiet
Hello! I'm translating an extract from § 252a Sozialgesetzbuch (the German Social Security Code) VI. The subject is the determination of credited periods with regards to pension funds. Here is the whole sentence:
"Anrechnungszeiten im Beitrittsgebiet sind auch Zeiten nach dem 8. Mai 1945, in denen Versicherte wegen Schwangerschaft oder Mutterschaft während der jeweiligen Schutzfristen eine versicherte Beschäftigung oder selbständige Tätigkeit nicht ausgeübt haben."
I've found this link:

Here Beitrittsgebiet seems to have something to do with Arbeitsausfalltage but I still don't understand the meaning of the word. Beitrittsgebiet seems to be generally translated as the new (ex-DDR) Laender but I don't see how that fits into this context.
Eternal gratitude to anyone who can help me further!

Thank you, Michael is right to point out it's "credited" and not "credit" periods, but since it was the Beitrittsgebiet that troubled me, your answer was the most helpful. I will translate with "credited periods for the new federal states".

credited periods


Explanation:
..not "credit periods". A credit period is something else..

Compare with quote below:
". this credit amount does not necessarily follow completely the full real wage growth over the credited period."

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thank you. You're right and I'm sorry I couldn't choose your answer because it doesn't give the complete translation and I was more troubled by the Beitrittsgebiet than by the Anrechnungszeit. I have included your correction in the glossary entry.

Reference information:
Beitrittsgebiet

In den gesetzlichen Vorschriften werden die neuen Bundesländer (ehemalige DDR) überwiegend als Beitrittsgebiet bezeichnet. Gemeint sind damit die Bundesländer Brandenburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Sachsen, Sachsen-Anhalt, Thüringen und der Ostteil Berlins.

Für Versicherte im Beitrittsgebiet gelten in der Rentenversicherung zahlreiche Sonderregelungen. Soweit sich diese – mitunter missverständliche – Gebietsumschreibung auf den aktuellen oder künftigen Zustand bezieht, gehen die Rentenversicherungsträger dazu über, den alten Begriff durch die bessere Bezeichnung „neue Bundesländer“ zu ersetzen.

Note to reference poster
Asker: Thank you. It looks obvious to me now, but for some reason it didn't before. It just hadn't occured to me that the distinction between old and new Laender could be relevant in this context. I'll wait the usual 24 hours now but you gave me the answer :) :)

agree  dkfmmuc: An agree and a little hint: Sabine I think you should contribute this reference as an *answer* including the English term. Otherwise the ASKER is not able to choose your solution. Besides that it's a perfect explanation.
