Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)

Service Description

As a surviving dependant or surviving spouse, you can apply for a settlement from the agricultural accident insurance instead of a pension in the event of remarriage.

As a widow or widower and as a registered partner, you will receive a survivor's pension for 2 years, as long as you do not remarry during this period. The pension amounts to 30 percent of the annual earnings of the deceased insured person.
If you remarry or enter into a new civil partnership as a surviving dependant, the widow's or widower's pension from the agricultural accident insurance can be settled once. You must submit an application for this.
You will receive 24 times your monthly pension as a settlement. A monthly amount is the gross average amount of the survivor's pension paid in the previous 12 months.
If a pension settlement was paid when you remarried or entered into a new civil partnership and the remarriage or civil partnership was annulled, dissolved or annulled, you should contact your accident insurance institution to clarify the benefits.
