An outline of the FDZ database and access is given in the following document:
Data Generation:
The database is generated in three different ways. First of all, data are collected in the notification process of the social security system (in accordance with the German Data and Transmission Act DEÜV); secondly, process data originate from the internal procedures of the Federal Employment Agency for computer-aided benefit allowance, job placement and administration of employment and training measures. Furthermore, the IAB acquires data from surveys (e.g. IAB Establishment Panel).
The following scheme depicts the different data sources and how they enter our datasets.
All data supplied by the FDZ are samples. Some of the databases are not stored permanently and should rather be regarded as procedures.

The FDZ provides following data from Surveys:
Process Generated Data:
On the basis of the notifications to the social insurance agencies, the employment statistics are established quarterly on a given reference date. A sample is drawn from these employment statistics to establish the BA Employment Panel.
Social security notifications are filed in the IAB and edited in the form of a history dataset known as the employment history (BeH). Internal data processing modules of the BA serve as database for the benefit recipient history (LeH). BeH and LeH are linkable to form what is termed the employee and benefit recipient history (BLH), thus facilitating the generation of several specific samples:
The Integrated Employment Biographies Sample of the IAB (IEBS) contains spells of employment history (BeH), benefit recipient history (LeH), participants in measures and applicants pool and is therefore to be regarded as the most comprehensive scheme for individual employment biographies.
