You continue to accrue pension if you become disabled
If you become disabled and you are receiving benefit under the Work and Income (Capacity for Work) Act (WIA benefit), and you are still employed at Mars, you will be entitled to full or partial paid-up continuation. You will therefore continue to accrue pension as normal. The Mars pension fund will pay the contribution.
Disability pension
You are also entitled to a disability pension from the Mars pension fund, in addition to your WIA benefit. Disability pension is paid until the date when you can return to work or you retire or the date when you become eligible for AOW pension.
Disability pension is capped at 75% of your pensionable salary above the WIA benefit limit (€ 71,628.84 in 2024). If you become partially disabled, you will receive a partial disability benefit. If you leave employment and subsequently become disabled, you will not be eligible for continuation of noncontributory pension accrual by the Mars pension fund and disability pension from the Mars pension fund.
