You receive a pension overview once every year. If you're no longer a participant in our pension plan, we make these statements available once a year on My pension at My archive. After you have left employment, we will send you a pension overview once every 5 years.

No. You will not see the equalised pension on your pension overview. Your former partner’s pension will have been deducted from your pension if the pension fund has notified you that this is the case. You will not see your former partner’s pension on your pension overview (UPO) either.

Yes. The additional pension you have gained as a result of the value transfer will not be specified separately on your pension overview. The value transfer will have been included in your pension overview if you have received a confirmation from us to this effect. If you have not had a confirmation yet, your value transfer request has not been processed yet. Does your value transfer have a transfer date after January 1 of this year? In that case, the value transfer is not included in your UPO for this year.

You can access your pension overview in My pension, at My archive.

This could be because you have not informed us of your partner’s name or it has not been processed yet. See the ‘Cohabiting’ heading for more information about how and when to register/deregister your partner with the pension fund. If you are married or are in a registered partnership, the municipality in which you live will notify us of the name of your partner automatically. If you are living abroad and are going to marry, the above will not apply and you will need to register/deregister your partner yourself.
