Your pension benefit

You will receive pension from the day on which you retire. You will receive this benefit for as long as you live.

Things you must arrange

If you live in the Netherlands, you will automatically receive a monthly pension benefit once your pension application has been finalised. You do not have to arrange anything yourself for this.
If you live abroad, other rules apply. In order to receive your pension benefit you will have to submit a 'Life Certificate' (Attestatie de vita) once a year.

What else do you need to know?

We will transfer your pension around the 25th of each month. The date on which the pension is credited to your bank account may differ from bank to bank. National holidays may cause a delay.
Your holiday allowance is already included in your monthly pension benefit. This means we do not pay a separate holiday allowance.
When you start receiving pension benefits, we will send you a gross-net specification of all your pension amounts. You will also receive this specification in the event of any changes greater than € 0.25.
We will send you an annual statement every year. You will need this for your tax return.
Every year, the pension fund will examine whether the pensions can be increased by means of a supplement.
After you retire, different tax rates and tax credits will apply. Read more on the website Belastingdienst.nl of the Dutch Tax and Customs Administration.
