Anw-shortfall insurance

If you die and your partner is registered with us, Philips Pensioenfonds will automatically pay him or her a survivor’s pension. He or she might also be entitled to state benefits under the Dutch Surviving Dependants Act (Algemene Nabestaandenwet, ‘ANW’). You may wish to take out ANW shortfall insurance with us if your partner does not have an entitlement, or not a full entitlement to ANW benefits.

Please note: you can only take out the ANW-shortfall insurance within 3 months after you have been employed, get a (new) relationship, had a child. You can find more information, the term and conditions and a short animation about ANW-shortfall insurance on our page below.

For your children

For your children: orphan's pension

Your children may be entitled to an orphan's pension after your death. The orphan's pension is a temporary pension income for the children. Children also often have major financial consequences after the death of one of the parents. For example, they want to study and are financially dependent on you. 

When are your children entitled to an orphan's pension?

Do you have any children? Then your children may be eligible for an orphan's pension. This applies to children under the age of 21. If your children are older, they will not receive an orphan's pension.
If there are several children, each child will receive an orphan's pension.

If the children are younger than 18, the payment is made to their legal representative. Children older than 18 can receive the orphan's pension on their own account. We would like to receive a written request for this.

Do you have children from a previous relationship? Then these children can also be eligible for an orphan's pension. The same conditions apply as described above.
