New payout procedure for supplementary pensions

Since the beginning of this year, new procedures and deadlines apply to the payout of supplementary pensions upon retirement or in case of death.

Feel free to take a look at the updated Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section about supplementary pensions on the FSMA website:

• Employees can visit the following webpage: Information for employees (French-Dutch).
• Self-employed persons can find the new rules by clicking on the following links:
  • When is the supplementary pension paid out? (French-Dutch).
  • What if the end date of the pension agreement does not match your retirement date? (French-Dutch).
  • What are the tax rules? (French-Dutch).

In addition, the FAQ section has been updated to reflect the raising of the statutory retirement age to 66 years, as well as the increase of the statutory guaranteed return and of the maximum interest rate for life insurance policies to 2.5%.
