If you have already built up a partner's pension before the transition to the new rules, this partner’s pension may be maintained. If you die, your partner will receive the partner's pension you had already built up. Your partner will receive this for as long as they live.

The new rules make the partner's pension simpler, clearer and fairer. This makes it clearer what your partner can expect.
The Dutch government included these rules in the Future of Pensions Act (Wtp). Social partners, representing employers and employees, made agreements about how to apply these rules. Pension funds carry out these agreements.
In most cases, you can take out additional insurance for your partner. This is called Anw-Plus
insurance. If you die before your partner reaches State Pension age, your partner may receive a temporaryadditional partner's pension through this insurance. This applies if your partner:
• cares for one or more children under age 18;
or
• has an occupational disability of more than 45%.
Your employer may already have taken out Anw-Plus insurance for all employees. In that case, it
is already part of your pension scheme. Check Overview 1 to see what applies to you
