Receive an orphan's pension from the agricultural accident insurance fund

Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)

Service Description

If your father or mother has died, you will receive an orphan's pension from the agricultural accident insurance fund under certain conditions.

The agricultural accident insurance pays a half or full orphan's pension to the children of insured persons. You can receive this orphan's pension if your parent has died as a result of an insured event. This includes accidents at work, accidents on the way to work and occupational illnesses. An application is not necessary.
You will receive the orphan's pension until you reach the age of 18.
Under certain circumstances, you may be entitled to an orphan's pension for longer. You can receive the orphan's pension until you reach the age of 27 at the latest.
If you are a half-orphan, the orphan's pension amounts to 20 percent of the deceased's annual income. If you are a full orphan, the orphan's pension is 30 percent. You receive the orphan's pension monthly.
It is possible that other people besides you are entitled to money from the statutory accident insurance, for example your siblings or a widow or widower. In this case, the sum of the pensions may not exceed 80% of the deceased person's annual income. In this case, your orphan's pension will be reduced proportionately. If you are a foster child, you may not be entitled to an orphan's pension at all.


Process flow

You do not have to apply for the orphan's pension. The Landwirtschaftliche Berufsgenossenschaft (LBG) determines the entitlement and the amount of the orphan's pension ex officio:

  • The LBG learns of the death of your parent.
  • The LBG will check whether you are entitled to an orphan's pension on the basis of the insured event.
  • If you are entitled to an orphan's pension, you will receive a notification from the employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund.
Requirements

You receive the orphan's pension:

  • if the person has died as a result of an insured event. This includes accidents at work, accidents on the way to work and occupational illnesses.
  • as:
    • natural child
    • Stepchild or foster child, if you lived in the household of the deceased person and were cared for and looked after there
    • grandchild or sibling, if you lived in the deceased person's household and were cared for and looked after there.
    • You can also receive an orphan's pension if the deceased person was mainly responsible for your living expenses.

Under these conditions, you will also receive the orphan's pension if you are between 19 and 27 years old:

  • You are in school or vocational training or
  • You are unable to support yourself due to a physical, mental or psychological disability or
