Cohabiting

You start living together. If you die, your partner may be entitled to partner’s pension. However, there are a number of criteria to be satisfied.

What are the criteria?

• Your partner must be registered with the pension fund.
• You run a joint household for at least 6 months.
• The cohabitation agreement must be authenticated by a notary public and must designate your partner as the beneficiary of partner’s pension.
• The cohabitation contract must be drawn up before you retire.
• Your partner may not be a relative by blood or affinity in the first or second degree.
• You and your partner must be registered with the municipal authority at the same address.

You need to register your partner. How to do this?
Send us a copy of your cohabitation agreement. You only need to send the first page and the page showing that your partner is the designated beneficiary for partner’s pension.

Would you like to know what is arranged for your partner?
If everything is in order you will receive a confirmation from us that your partner is now registered. Would you like to know what is arranged for your partner? All the amounts will appear on your annual pension overview (UPO) on My pension, in 'Mijn archief'.
