Receive a widow's and widower's pension from the agricultural accident insurance fund
Source: Zuständigkeitsfinder Schleswig-Holstein (Linie6Plus)
Service Description
As a widow, widower or surviving partner in a civil partnership, you can receive a pension from the Agricultural Employers' Liability Insurance Association under certain conditions.
In the event of a fatal accident at work or a fatal occupational illness, agricultural accident insurance provides financial protection for surviving dependants.
This means that the Agricultural Employers' Liability Insurance Association can support you financially if your spouse has died as a result of such an insured event. The same applies to life partners. An application is not necessary.
In the first 3 months after death, the pension amounts to two thirds of the deceased person's annual income. After that, the pension amounts to 30 percent of the annual income. In total, you can receive the pension for up to 24 months.
After the first 3 months, the pension can amount to 40 percent of the annual income if
- you are bringing up a child,
- are older than 47
- or are disabled or unable to work.
If you have your own income, the pension is reduced.
As a rule, you are not entitled to a pension if:
- you only entered into the marriage or civil partnership after the accident and
- the death occurred within the first year of the marriage or civil partnership.
There is an exception here if it is clear that you did not enter into the marriage or civil partnership primarily in order to receive the pension.
