Separation
What consequences does a legal separation have?
Separation can affect entitlement to family allowances and payment of DI and OASI pensions for children.
After a legal separation, the upper limit of the two invalidity or old-age pensions is abolished.
What should be noted?
Notify the competent compensation office of the separation if any of the following points apply to you:
- I receive family allowances (employees: notification via the employer; self-employed persons: notification directly to the compensation office)
- I receive a DI daily cash benefit
- I receive an old-age or invalidity pension
- I receive supplementary benefits
- I pay contributions as a non-working person
