Marriage / partnership

If you work for NN/NN IP and get married in the Netherlands or register a partnership in your municipality, your partner will automatically become entitled to partner pension when you pass away. You don’t need to take any action. However, if you want your partner’s income to be higher when you pass away, you must take out insurance to cover this. If you think this might be relevant to you, you should contact an advisor.

If you get divorced, this will affect your pension. Your ex-partner will be entitled to special partner pension. In addition, you and your ex-partner will both be entitled to half of the old-age pension that was built up during your marriage.

These are the standard conditions that have been provided by law. You and your ex-partner can decide to deviate from them and agree on other terms, subject to certain conditions.

What happens if you work for NN/NN IP and move in with someone? If you want your partner to be entitled to partner pension when you pass away, you will have to report him/her to NN CDC Pensioenfonds. The pension fund will inform you whether they have accepted your partner.

Acceptance of your partner is subject to certain conditions, such as:

• Your pension has not yet started.
• You and your partner are not married or registered partners with someone else.

• If you have been living together for less than five years, you will need a cohabitation contract signed by a civil-law notary. The contract must cover the duty to provide mutual support.

If you end your relationship with the person you’re living with, you and your ex-partner will not need to share the old-age pension that was accrued while you were living together.
