If you divorce or terminate your registered partnership
Your ex-partner is entitled to half of the retirement pension that you accrued during the marriage or the period of the registered partnership. You can make other arrangements with your ex-partner. Such arrangements have to be set down in a divorce settlement. You or your ex-partner must notify Philips Pensioenfonds of the divorce and of any other arrangements that you make. You must do so within two years after the date of the divorce.
The entitlement to part of the retirement pension does not apply if you and your partner cohabited but were unmarried. Persons who enter into non-marital cohabitation have to make their own arrangements regarding the division of the pension.
Your ex-partner is also entitled to the survivor’s pension that you accrued up to the date of divorce or termination of the registered partnership. You do not have to take any action for the entitlement to the survivor’s pension unless your ex-partner does not want a survivor’s pension and waives the entitlement to it, in which case you must notify Philips Pensioenfonds of this.
Important!
Persons who cohabit but are unmarried may also be entitled to a survivor’s pension. If you cohabit and then separate, you have to de-register your partner. To do so, you can use the 'Partner Registration' form.
If you live outside the Netherlands and your relationship is terminated, you must always de-register your partner with us.
Important!
If you earn more than € 137,800, your employer has taken out insurance for you with Centraal Beheer PPI for the accrual of your survivor’s pension on your earnings above this amount. If your civil status changes, you must also notify Centraal Beheer PPI.
