Events in your life

If you marry, or if you are entering into a registered partnership, you will share more with each other on a personal and financial level. This includes your pension. What has been arranged and what more can you do?

What has been arranged?
Your partner is automatically entitled to partner's pension if you die. 

How much will your partner receive?
You accrue 0.959%% partner’s pension every year. If you die, your partner receives this accrued partner’s pension plus the pension that would still have been accrued had you remained employed at Astellas until your retirement date. The pension overview states precisely how much partner’s pension we will provide for your partner. You can view your personal pension overview online in Mijn Pensioencijfers (My Pension Figures).

What do you have to do?
No action is required on your part. We will automatically receive your partner’s data from the municipality.

• If you are getting married abroad or have married abroad, please send us an authenticated copy of your marriage certificate.
• If you get married abroad, but you reside in the Netherlands, you must register your marriage at the municipality. We will then automatically receive your partner’s data from the municipality.

What else can you arrange?
You can ensure that your partner receives a higher or – if preferred – a lower income after you die by taking out insurance through a bank or insurer yourself for this purpose.

If you leave the company or retire, you can use part of your old-age pension to arrange additional partner’s pension for your partner.
