Survivor's pension
On the death of an insured person or a pensioner, the surviving spouse or partner and the orphans may receive a survivor's pension.
The spouse or partner (art. 217 CSS)
The survivor receives 100 % of the flat-rate increments and 75 % of the proportional increments of the deceased's pension. Conditions (duration of the marriage or partnership) may apply.
The orphans (art. 218 CSS)
Each orphan receives one third of the flat-rate increments and one quarter of the proportional ones; an orphan who has lost both parents receives the double.
Good to know
A survivor's minimum and floors/ceilings specific to the survivor may apply; in the event of death before retirement, special increments are added. The estimator models the case of a deceased person who was already retired.
Legal basis: art. 217 (spouse/partner), 218 (orphans) CSS. Sources: secu.lu, cnap.public.lu.
