Applying for pension compensation for surviving spouses from statutory accident insurance in the event of remarriage
Service Description
As a widow or widower or registered partner, you will receive a survivor's pension from the statutory accident insurance in the event of death as a result of an insured event.
If you remarry as a surviving dependant or enter into a new registered civil partnership, the survivor's pension granted will be settled.
You will receive 24 times your monthly pension as a settlement.
The calendar months worked as part of a survivor's pension with a fixed term in advance will be offset against the settlement amount.
If you have already received a pension settlement on remarriage or a new registered civil partnership and your marital status has changed again, please contact your employer's liability insurance association or accident insurance fund. They will advise you on possible benefit entitlements.
