Questions about survivor's pension or disability
Do you receive a survivor's or partner's pension? Read the answers to frequently asked questions about the new pension scheme:
I receive a partner's pension. What does the new pension scheme mean for me?
If you already receive a partner's pension, it will continue as usual. However, as with the old-age pension, the benefit will be converted from a fixed pension benefit to a variable pension benefit. This means that your benefit will be recalculated annually. In doing so, we take into account the return on your pension assets and the interest rates used to determine the purchase of the benefit. As a result, your pension may increase or decrease each year. StiPP has a reserve for the distribution phase. This reserve is used to prevent reductions in pension benefits.
I receive an orphan's pension. What does the new pension scheme mean for me?
If you already receive an orphan's pension, it will continue until you reach the age of 18. However, as with the partner's pension and retirement pension, the benefit will be converted into a variable benefit.
