You lose your job due to illness – get help from your pension scheme
Please let us know right away if your employment is terminated due to illness. We will often be able to help you. If insurance cover is included in your pension scheme, we recommend that you continue to contribute to your scheme until we inform you what will happen to it.
Tell us what to do with your pension scheme
Contact us if you want to continue your pension scheme after the contributions have stopped.
If you do not contact us, your pension scheme will automatically be changed into a paid-up policy and that leaves you with your savings only. If the value of your savings is less than DKK 11,100 (2020), the scheme will be terminated. After payment of fees and charges to Skattestyrelsen, any surplus value will be paid into your NemKonto.
What will happen to your insurance cover?
If you have a pension scheme with contributions from an employer, you will have some time to consider. Your insurance cover for critical illness, death and reduced earning capacity will remain unchanged for the first three months after contributions have stopped. We use your savings to pay for your tax-deductible insurance cover. If you have non-deductible insurance cover, payment for such cover will be taken from the last contribution.
After three months, all of your insurance policies will expire, and you will be left with only your pension savings. Therefore, it is important that you contact us before the insurance covers expire if you want them to continue beyond the three months.
If one of the following insurance policies were included in your pension scheme, they already ceased on the date of your resignation:
- Health insurance
- Cancellation of certificate
- Occupational disability
