Who is also eligible for a widow-er’s pension?

If you have not been married or if the marriage has ended, you may obtain a widow-er’s pension if:

  • as a divorced spouse, you have the right to maintenance under a judicial decision or by agreement, and you received that maintenance up until the death of your former spouse;
  • if the spouse from a later marriage or an extra-marital partner is also entitled to a widow-er’s pension, you, as a divorced spouse, are entitled to the widow-er’s pension as a joint recipient;
  • if for the 3 years prior to their death you lived with the deceased in a relationship, which is equal to marriage in terms of its legal consequences under the law governing marriage and family relations, or lived in such a partnership with the deceased in the year prior to their death and you ever have had a child with them;
  • if you lived with the deceased in a formal or non-formal civil union.
