    Children's pension

    Financial security for your children if you cannot work or die.

    Children’s pension benefits provide financial security for your children if you cannot work due to illness, or you are not there to support them.

    The children’s pension benefits are paid from the 1. of the month after you have been granted permanent disability pension benefits or died. The children’s pension benefits are paid until the age stipulated in the Regulations. The children’s pension benefits are also paid if your are granted temporary disability pension benefits from P+, former JØP.

    Payment of children’s pension benefits also applies on retirement under P+ Regulations 1973, former JØP Regulations 1, P+ Regulations 1983, former DIP Regulations 1 and P+ Regulations 1999, former DIP Regulations 2. If you are subject to P+ Regulations 2007, former JØP Regulations 2 and admitted before 1 July 2007, payment of children’s pension also apply on retirement. Payment of children’s pension benefits starts at the same time as payment of the retirement pension benefits.

    Your children, adopted children and stepchildren who you support are entitled to children’s pension benefits.

    The relationship with a possible stepchild must be established before the child reaches age 18. A stepchild’s right to children’s pension benefits requires that you are married to the child’s mother/father. However, there will be paid children’s pension benefits on death to a cohabitant’s child in P+, former JØP. Children who are conceived after the member’s transition to disability or retirement pension are not entitled to children’s pension benefits.

    The monthly pension benefits are taxed as personal income, i.e. they are not subject to payment of labour market contributions (8 percent). If payment of children’s pension benefits can be included in the child’s personal allowance, the payment is in practice tax-exempt.
