Service Description

After the death of your former partner or spouse, you can receive a pension from the statutory accident insurance.

If your former spouse has died as a result of an insured event, for example an accident at work, you will receive a pension. The same applies to registered civil partnerships. You must submit an application to the Landwirtschaftliche Berufsgenossenschaft.

The pension amounts to 30 percent of the deceased person's annual income. The monthly payment begins 3 months after the death. You will receive the pension for a maximum of 21 months.

You will receive a pension amounting to 40 percent of the deceased person's annual income if you:

  • are raising a child,
  • are older than 47 years of age or
  • are disabled, unable to work or incapacitated for work as defined by the statutory pension insurance.

It is possible that other people are entitled to the pension in addition to you, for example if the deceased person was married and divorced several times. In such a case, the pension is divided according to the duration of the marriage or civil partnership with the deceased person.

If you have an income, the pension will be reduced.

For example, you will receive the statutory accident insurance pension for former spouses or partners:

  • Apply informally for the pension from the Landwirtschaftliche Berufsgenossenschaft.
