AOW pension - You and your partner are separating or getting divorced

If you and your partner separate or get divorced, the amount of your AOW pension will change. If you start living on your own, you will receive an AOW pension based on 70% of the net minimum wage. If your partner is under 65, any supplementary allowance you received for him or her will stop.

You stay married but start living apart

If you and your partner are going to stay married but start living apart, you will receive an AOW pension at the rate for a single person (based on 70% of the net minimum wage) provided you meet the following three conditions:

• you or your partner no longer want to live together, and
• you and your partner live apart, and
• you or your partner do not intend to live together again in the future.
