Basitçe açıklamak gerekirse
The widow's or widower's pension supports you in the event of the death of your partner. It can help to cushion the financial hardship often associated with this. The regulations apply equally to surviving spouses and registered partners.
A widow's or widower's pension is paid from the pension account of the deceased. The amount of your widow's or widower's pension depends on this pension account.
In the first three calendar months after death, your widow's or widower's pension is equal to the pension of the deceased (so-called quarter of death).
Large and small widow's pension
You will then receive the so-called large or small widow's or widower's pension.
- Large widow's and widower's pension: You receive 55% of the pension that the deceased was or would have been receiving at the time of death.
- Small widow's and widower's pension: You will receive 25% of the pension that the deceased was or would have been receiving at the time of death. This pension is generally paid for a maximum of 24 months.
The pension paid to you may be lower due to deductions. It depends on how old your partner was. Under certain conditions, you can receive a child supplement.
If you have other income that exceeds a certain allowance, this will be partially offset against your widow's or widower's pension. The amount of the allowance is calculated individually. Exception: In the first three calendar months (quarter of death) after the death, your own income is not taken into account.
Widow's or widower's pension under the old law
The laws governing widow's or widower's pensions were changed from 2002. Depending on the date of death and your marriage or civil partnership, you may be able to receive a widow's or widower's pension under the old law. The calculation may then differ:
- It will be based on 60 percent of the pension of the deceased instead of 55 percent.
- You can also receive the small widow's or widower's pension indefinitely.
- Fewer types of income are taken into account.
- There is no child supplement.
Hangi gereklilikler yerine getirilmelidir?
General requirements
- You have not remarried.
-
The deceased has paid into the pension insurance scheme for at least 5 years (general waiting period) or has already received a pension.
- Exception: If your partner had an accident at work, for example, shorter periods may be sufficient.
-
You had been married or a partner for at least one year at the time of death.
- Exception: Sometimes it is sufficient if you were married for less than one year. This applies, for example, if your partner has died in an accident.
If you remarry, your widow's or widower's pension will end. However, you can then apply for a settlement to help you start a new chapter in your life.
If you decided as a couple to share your pension entitlements (pension splitting), you cannot receive a widow's or widower's pension.
