We expect your pension to change from 1 January 2027. We can’t yet say exactly what will change. That depends on the agreements that your former employer or the industry makes. Find out what we can tell you about your new pension now.
In the new pension, you’ll continue to receive your pension each month, for as long as you live. Your pension doesn’t run out.
If you die when you are already retired, the standard partner’s pension is 70% of the pension you receive. It’s also possible that you made other agreements about the partner’s pension when you applied for your pension. These agreements remain in place. This doesn’t change.
Your pension will increase or decrease each year. This is because your pensions will adapt to the economy. Which in turn means we can increase pensions quicker when the economy is doing well. However, if the economy isn’t doing so well, we can also reduce pensions quicker.
Your pension will not suddenly drop in value. The new rules also ensure that fluctuations in your pension become less as your grow older.
We adjust the amount of your pension a maximum of once a year. This way, you know what to expect for the entire year.
Social partners from the industry in which you worked or your former employer will make agreements for the new pension scheme. Your old industry or former employer will also make agreements about the pensions that are currently being paid out.
They will pass on their choices to us by the end of 2024. From the second half of 2025, we will be in a better position to tell you exactly how the new rules will affect you.
