office dealing with medical treatment subsidies (for civil servants)
All German civil servants have to be privately insured. Depending on their job/rank, they get Beihilfe from the federal state they work for (e.g. Bavaria). For example, a civil servant gets 50% Beihilfe, the other 50% must be insured privately. When the bill comes in from the doctor, the private insurance covers 50% and the Beihilfe the other 50% - the bill is duplicated, one is sent to the insurance while the other goes to the ..... Beihilfestelle. Beihilfe is not insurance in the true sense, it just pays for a part of medical treatment for civil servants.

Comment: "Thanks for the very thorough and convincing explanation!
The context of my document suggests that the 50% coverage for civil servants is what is meant. So I'm translating it as: "federal benefits agencies."
Thanks again for the super answer! (a 6 in my book if Proz would give me that option).

benefits/subsidy office
Beihilfe can be benefits in an insurance context. But it could also be a subsidy. So it's possible that this is an office that provides subsidies for health insurance.
