It is important that there is also a benefit for your partner and children in the event of your death. A situation you'd rather not think about, but it's very important to have something arranged.

In the new pension scheme, your partner will receive a benefit every month for as long as he or she lives. This is the same as now. As long as you accrue pension with us, there is a partner's pension for your partner. This amounts to 35% of your salary. There is also a monthly benefit for your children if you die. As long as you accrue pension with us, your child will receive an orphan's pension until he/she reaches the age of 25. The amount of this orphan's pension is 20% of the salary. The salary for these pensions are capped (€137,800 in 2024). The new pension is higher than in the current pension scheme.

It does not matter how long you have been a member in the pension scheme. However, the schemes will stop if you no longer accrue pension with us.
