... you are getting married or entering into a registered partnership? And if you move in together? What is then arranged for your pension? And do you have to do anything yourself?

If you have a partner, in many cases he or she is automatically entitled to a partner's pension when you die. Of course, we then have to know that you have a partner. Below you can read which actions you should perform on which moment.

I am married or in a registered partnership

If you are married or in a registered partnership, your partner is automatically entitled to a partner's pension when you die. If you enter into a relationship after your retirement date, your partner is not entitled to a partner's pension.

Do I have to do anything?

You do not have to do anything. If you get married or enter into a registered partnership, we will automatically be notified by the municipality where you live. Your partner is then automatically insured for a partner's pension.

I live with a partner

Do you live together without a registered partnership? Then your partner is only entitled to a partner's pension if you have a cohabitation agreement drawn up at a notary's office. Are you going to live together after your retirement date? Then your partner is not entitled to a partner's pension.

Do I have to do anything?

If you live together, you have to notify your pension fund about your partner yourself. This can be done with the form 'Notifying a partner'. Enclose a copy of the cohabitation agreement or a copy of the extract from that agreement with the form.
