Restructuring pension – so it works
The restructuring pension is continuously paid by the Pension Authority, as long as you are approved as a recipient. At most, you can get it for twelve months, as long as you meet the basic requirements for age. Should you instead be 66 years old during the twelve -month period, you will receive a restructuring pension up to the month before you turn 66, the Pension Authority writes on your own The website.
However, if your spouse or spouse dies and you have custody of a child, you can, however, have the restructuring pension extended, beyond the twelve months. But then it is required that you live with the child, both before and after the death of your partner.
“If the child is under the age of twelve, you will receive an extended restructuring pension up to the month your youngest child turns twelve. If the child has reached the age of twelve, you will receive a twelve month extended restructuring pension. If the child turns 18 before the 12-month period ceases, you will receive an extended restructuring pension to the child’s 18-year month, ”the authority writes.
