Frequently Asked Questions
-
How do I notify a change?
You do not need to notify changes to us if you live in the Netherlands. Changes of address, a marriage, death or divorce are notified to us automatically by your municipality as long as you live in the Netherlands. You do not have to notify us in this case. You can register a different e-mail address in My details.

I have already retired. What happens to my pension benefit if I divorce (or separate)?
If you divorce, end a registered partnership or end a period of cohabitation, your former partner may be entitled to special partner’s pension payable to them on your death. The amount of special partner’s pension depends on your specific situation. You and your former partner will be informed accordingly in writing.
