The agricultural accident insurance pays a half or full orphan's pension to the children of insured persons. You can receive this orphan's pension if your parent has died as a result of an insured event. This includes accidents at work, accidents on the way to work and occupational illnesses. An application is not necessary.
You will receive the orphan's pension until you reach the age of 18.
Under certain circumstances, you may be entitled to an orphan's pension for longer. You can receive the orphan's pension until you reach the age of 27 at the latest.
If you are a half-orphan, the orphan's pension amounts to 20 percent of the deceased's annual income. If you are a full orphan, the orphan's pension is 30 percent. You receive the orphan's pension monthly.
It is possible that other people besides you are entitled to money from the statutory accident insurance, for example your siblings or a widow or widower. In this case, the sum of the pensions may not exceed 80% of the deceased person's annual income. In this case, your orphan's pension will be reduced proportionately. If you are a foster child, you may not be entitled to an orphan's pension at all.
