Withdrawing Old Age Pension in Rijswijk

For residents of Rijswijk, the pension phase begins with claiming your old-age pension. This includes the AOW from the government and possibly supplementary pension from your employer or fund. It is usually paid out monthly from AOW age, but you can opt for early withdrawal or a lump sum. Learn how this works specifically for Rijswijk situations, with local tips.

What does old-age pension mean for Rijswijk residents?

Old-age pension is your benefit at pensionable age, built up from the General Old Age Pensions Act (AOW) – a government basic provision – and employer pension. In 2024, a single person in Rijswijk receives €1.461,85 gross AOW per month (half for partners). Supplementary pension depends on your scheme. The start is automatic, but you have influence on the timing and form. This overview provides Rijswijk examples and advice. More about lump sum withdrawal.

Legal frameworks

The rules are set out in various laws:

  • AOW: Chapter II, art. 15 et seq. Determines AOW age (2024: 67 years and 3 months) and benefit.
  • Pension Act 2023: Replaces older laws; art. 1-100 on accrual and payout.
  • SVB: Manages AOW (AOW Implementation Decree).
  • Pension funds: Own rules, approved by DNB.

Indexation follows if coverage ratio is adequate (art. 119). For disputes in Rijswijk: Contact District Court Rijswijk.
