Request pension settlement for survivors in statutory accident insurance in the event of remarriage
Service Description
As a widow or widower and as a registered partner, you will receive a survivor's pension for 2 years, as long as no remarriage takes place during this period. The pension is 30 percent of the annual earnings of the deceased insured person.
If you remarry or enter into a new civil partnership as a survivor, the widow's or widower's pension from the agricultural accident insurance can be settled once. You must submit an application for this.
You will receive 24 times your monthly pension as a settlement. A monthly amount is the gross average amount of the survivor's pension paid in the past 12 months.
If a pension settlement was paid when you remarried or entered into a new civil partnership and the remarriage or civil partnership was declared null and void, dissolved or annulled, you should contact your accident insurance carrier for clarification of benefits.
Process flow
You must inform the Agricultural Employer's Liability Insurance Association (LBG) that you have remarried or are in a new civil partnership.
The Agricultural Employer's Liability Insurance Association will then contact you, explain the further procedure and request the necessary documents.
