receive a widow's or widower's pension for former spouses from statutory accident insurance

Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz

If your former spouse has died as a result of an insured event, for example an accident at work, you can receive a pension. The same applies to registered civil partnerships. Insured persons are entitled to a pension if they provided maintenance to a former spouse or former registered partner during the last year before their death or if there was a corresponding entitlement to maintenance.

You must submit an application to the relevant employers' liability insurance association or accident insurance fund.
The pension amounts to 30 percent of the deceased person's annual income. The monthly payment begins 3 months after the death. You will receive the pension for a maximum of 21 months.

You will receive a pension amounting to 40 percent of the deceased person's annual income if you:

  • are raising a child,
  • are older than 47 years of age or
  • are disabled, unable to work or incapacitated for work as defined by the statutory pension insurance.

It is possible that other people are entitled to the pension in addition to you, for example if the deceased person was married and divorced several times. In such a case, the pension is divided according to the duration of the marriage or civil partnership with the deceased person.

If you have an income, the pension will be reduced.
