Government launches website about new pension rules: Pensioenduidelijkheid.nl

Since 1 July 2023, new pension rules have been in force. The government has launched a campaign and an online platform to explain the new pension rules in more detail: pensioenduidelijkheid.nl (in Dutch). It will take a while before you personally notice the consequences of the new pension rules. Participants of Philips Pensioenfonds are expected to transfer to a new pension scheme in 2026.

The Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment has launched the pensioenduidelijkheid.nl website. You may have seen or heard about this on TV, radio and online. On this website, the government explains why the statutory pension rules have been amended and what the new pension rules entail.


At the moment nothing will change about your pension or the pension scheme
All pension providers in the Netherlands have until 1 January 2028 to adjust the pension schemes to the new statutory pension rules. Participants of Philips Pensioenfonds are expected to transfer to a new pension scheme in 2026. Until then, you will continue to accrue pension or receive pension from the current pension scheme. After all, some steps still need to be taken before the new pension scheme is in place. Your employer and the trade unions are the first to act to translate the new rules into a new pension scheme.


We will keep you informed
As soon as it is clear when your pension will be adjusted and what that change means for you, you will of course be notified by us. We would also like to keep you informed of the upcoming changes at www.philipspensioenfonds.nl/en/new-rules-pensions. Here you can read frequently asked questions and we explain in videos what to expect.
