Married couples and life partners can opt for a so-called pension splitting. This means that both pensioners can receive the same parts of the pension.
Pension splitting is possible even after the death of the partner. The surviving partner can then choose between pension splitting or receiving the widow's pension. It is important to note that pension splitting is mandatory. If couples decide to do so, no Widow's pension can be applied for after death of one. Consumers can also buy retirement years.
