Pension matters

Pension matters

Retirement is approaching! It is important to take care of all the formalities in time so that the pension is paid out on time. Many ask themselves:

"When and where do I have to apply for the pension? Who can advise me? Can I earn something on top of my pension?"

Information on pensions

The Pension Matters section of the Social Welfare Department accepts applications for social security benefits (e.g. old-age pension, reduced earning capacity pension, survivors' pension, account clarification, etc.).

The staff in the pension department provide information on all questions concerning pension insurance. The actual legal advice is provided by the insurance providers or by the insured persons' elders.
