Congratulations, you’re getting married or moving in together
Congratulations! When you get married or start living together, your pension is probably not what comes to mind first. But the two are actually linked.
From the moment you are officially partners, your partner is insured with us for a partner’s pension.

When is my partner* entitled to a benefit?
*Under the new pension system, the definition of partner for the partner’s pension has been broadened. If you can demonstrate that you run a joint household, your partner will be entitled to a partner’s pension.
There are, however, exceptions:
When is my partner* entitled to a benefit?
