If a married person receiving a pension dies, the surviving spouse will receive 60% of the ongoing retirement pension as a lifelong partner\u2019s pension. In the event of remarriage, the partner\u2019s pension will cease. Civil partnerships that have been reported to Asga during the insured person\u2019s lifetime by means of a beneficiary declaration are treated analogously to spouses. If a person receiving a retirement pension dies within the first five years after retirement or after the last partial retirement stage, an additional lump-sum death benefit equal to five annual pensions less any pension payments already made will be paid out. Pension benefits are subject to income tax.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-e11dd7b icon-box-with-text-50vw\" data-id=\"e11dd7b\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-ece689c elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"ece689c\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-e07cb9d icon-box-with-text-50vw-inner\" data-id=\"e07cb9d\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-594268a elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"594268a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<i aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"fas fa-hand-holding-usd\"><\/i>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2f32812 has-small-title-style elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"2f32812\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The advantages of a lump-sum withdrawal<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b19c3d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"b19c3d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>The advantage of a lump-sum withdrawal lies in the flexibility: The pensioner themselves can decide how much money they wish to withdraw. If death occurs at an early stage, the unused capital becomes part of the estate. At the same time, it must be ensured that the retirement capital is sufficient even in the case of a long life. To avoid a financing gap, the capital assets may be invested. Caution: Current financial markets are challenging, and it is difficult to achieve an adequate return. The lump-sum payment is taxed at a reduced rate at the time of withdrawal. Anyone wishing to calculate their tax burden can do so on the website of the cantonal tax authority. Most cantons provide a simple tool for this purpose.<\/p><h3>Good to know:<\/h3><p>Voluntary purchases made during the last three years before retirement are subject to a restriction on capital payout. If applicable, a partial lump-sum withdrawal may also not be possible for tax reasons. Clarification of these matters is the responsibility of the insured person.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-aa50952 elementor-section-full_width content-sidebar-ankerpunkt elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"aa50952\" data-element_type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-eacb18f\" data-id=\"eacb18f\" data-element_type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cebc011 has-large-title-style elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"cebc011\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Retirement date<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6e3c169 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"6e3c169\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>When planning a flexible retirement, various OASI- and OPA-related as well as regulatory requirements must be observed. The timing of drawing a retirement pension differs between the OASI and occupational benefits (OPA). Under the OASI, the retirement pension may be drawn early one or two years before the normal retirement age (from age 62 for women of the transitional generation and from age 63 for men). Under the OPA, early retirement is possible from age 58.<\/p><p>Under both the OASI and occupational pension provision, deferral of pension withdrawal for up to five years beyond the reference age (i.e. up to age 70) is possible. Asga has adopted this time frame, from age 58 to 70, in its Pension Fund Regulation. The pension scheme beyond the reference age may be requested only if gainful employment with the current employer is continued without interruption.<\/p><p>We thus give our insured persons scope to plan their retirement flexibly at the regulatory level as well.<\/p><p>Do not hesitate to contact us at any time if you have any questions about your retirement.
