What are the consequences if you are divorced?
| At the time of payment | The following years |
|---|---|
| If you are divorced and have opted for a share in your retirement pension, your ex-partner will also receive a ‘lump sum’ over the shared part of your pension. Your ex-partner has no choice in this matter. It can also have consequences for your ex-partner, for example, for the rent and/or healthcare allowance or the income-related arrangements. If you opted for conversion during the divorce, your choice for a 'lump sum' will not affect your ex-partner's pension. |
If your ex-partner passes away, the share in your retirement pension will be returned to you. That share in your pension is lower if you have made use of the option ‘lump sum’. Of course, in the event of death of your ex-partner, you will not receive a refund of the 'lump sum' that your ex-partner received. If you opted for conversion during the divorce, this is not applicable. |
