  • If you want to apply for a survivor's pension, we recommend that you make an individual appointment with us.
  • If you submit the application to us within the set deadline, you will have met the statutory deadline.
  • The clerks complete all application forms online and forward them to the relevant pension provider. This ensures quick, prompt and complete processing by the pension provider.

The following survivors' pensions are available:

  • Widow's/widower's pension

Questions & Answers

No, every pension must be applied for. All pensions have deadlines within which they must be applied for; in the case of a survivor's pension, for example, the application should be submitted within 30 days of the date of death of the insured person ("quarter of death"/no income offset!), but at the latest within twelve calendar months of the month of death.
