Supplementary Partner’s Pension

Supplementary Partner’s Pension

If you wish to make arrangements for a higher pension for your partner you can take out a Supplementary Partner’s Pension with the Heineken Pension Fund. If you opt for this voluntary supplementary pension, then your partner will receive a Partner’s Pension up to and including the month in which he/she is entitled to his/her state pension, irrespective of whether he/she marries, (again) enters into a civil partnership or (again) starts to cohabit with his/her partner in the meantime. The annual sum paid out under this Supplementary Partner’s Pension is € 17,8591.72 (2023).

The partner’s own income is not cut back and, even if Anw benefit is awarded by the Government, the HPF Supplementary Partner’s Pension is paid out in full.

If you are an employee employed by Heineken and if you have a partner who has not yet reached his / her AOW commencement date, you will automatically be registered for the Supplementary Partner’s Pension Scheme if you are married or have a registered partnership. Contributions to this scheme will automatically be withheld from your gross salary. Participation in the Scheme is also possible if you have a cohabitation agreement. In that case, you must send us a copy of the signed notarized cohabitation agreement.

You can see on the most recent Uniform Pension Statement under the heading ‘Payment upon death’ whether you participate in this scheme. Should you still wish to become a member of this insurance scheme then you can re-register subject to certain conditions. You can register for this insurance by downloading the form ”Registration Form for the Supplementary Partner’s Pension” and submit it via AskHR.

If you no longer wish to be a member of this scheme then you must complete the form “Waiver for the Supplementary Partner’s Pension” and send it to pensioenfonds@heineken.nl.
