Changes in pension regulations
As of 1 January 2024, the pension regulations will change. These changes are detailed below.
- Do you have insurance for temporary additional partner pension (Anw gap insurance)? From 1 January 2024, that insurance can be cancelled on a monthly basis. Currently, this is possible only on a quarterly basis (Article 32.4.d).
- You can choose the amount of coverage of temporary additional partner pension (Anw gap insurance) yourself. After amendment of the pension regulations, you can adjust the amount of coverage on a monthly basis. Currently, you can only do so as of 1 January of every year (Article 32.5.a).
- Are you taking a job outside the metal and tech industry? Then your pension scheme at PME ends. You can continue to accrue pension at PME, but only on a number of conditions. We call this voluntary continuation. One of these conditions will no longer apply. This is the condition that voluntary continuation cannot start within 3 years before retirement age (Article 14.2).
- Some of the texts in the regulations have been clarified. This has not altered the meaning of those texts.
