Mars Pension Fund is looking for a new candidate for the Accountability Council, for which one candidate is available in the Talent Pool. Others can also apply as a candidate for the vacancy.

In November 2023, we organized online pension training for the first time. Did you miss these? No problem! In MyMarsPension you can now watch them at your leisure.

Did you receive a pension from us in 2023? Under My documents in MyMarsPension, your 2023 annual statement is ready for you.

The board of Mars Pension Fund decides at the end of each year whether we can increase the pensions of pensioners and deferred members, and if so by how much. This is called indexation. This year more time is needed to make this decision.

Your pension plan will change due to new government rules. Based on the new rules, the social partners (Mars and the Works Councils) make agreements about the new pension plan. Associations of pensioners and associations of deferred members have a legal right to be heard (hoorrecht) so that they can make their voices heard

In our pension plan you can start your pension from the age of 50. There are rules that determine whether you can continue working alongside your pension. These rules have changed with the introduction of the Future Pensions Act on 1 July 2023.

The interest accrual for the ARP plan for the first half of 2023 has been set. For active members this is 3.21% on an annual basis. For deferred members this is 0%.

Has anything changed in your life in the past year? Or are changes coming in 2024? This may have consequences for your pension. With our handy checklist you will know if you need to take action.

The introduction of the lump sum pension choice has been postponed again and will now take effect on 1 January 2025 at the earliest. That date is also not yet certain, because both the Senate and the House of Representatives still have to approve the bill.

The state pension (AOW) age will remain the same in 2029, namely 67 years and three months.
