Death
In the event of your death, and if you have survivors, your partner and/or children may be entitled to a partner's pension of an orphan's pension of the Heineken Pension Fund.
What has been arranged
In the event of your death, your partner is entitled to a partner's pension. The partner's pension amounts to about 70% of the pension you would receive if you were to accrue a pension with the Heineken Pension Fund up until your retirement. If you die after your retirement, your partner will also receive about 70% of the pension. Your partner will receive the partner's pension monthly until the time of his or her death.
Your child is entitled to an orphan's pension. In the event of your death, your child will receive that until he/ she reaches the age of 25 years. The amount of the orphan's pension is about 20% of the partner's pension.

What do your survivors have to do
If the survivors are registered, then they do no need to do anything. In the event of your death, the municipality will notify us. Following that, we will contact your survivors through the channels known to us. We will notify them of the amount and the related arrangements of the partner's pension and orphan's pension and will arrange for the payments to be started.
Do you, as a survivor, have any questions or do you think you are a survivor, but are not registered? Get in touch with us. We will be happy to help you.

You can find the amounts and the information about the partner's pension and the orphan's pension in the mijnomgeving and in the Uniform Pension Statement. You can also have a look on www.mijnpensioenoverzicht.nl (log in using DigiD).
