A person who was receiving a remigration benefit has died
If a person who receives a remigration benefit dies, the remigration benefit will stop. If the deceased had a partner or child, we will check whether the partner or child can get a remigration benefit.
Select the applicable situation
If the deceased did not have a partner and was not living with any children, but someone looked after the deceased, that person may, in some cases, qualify for a final payment.
This is the amount that was still owing to the deceased, for example the remigration benefit for the month in which the deceased died.
The person who took care of the deceased must apply to us for this final payment within 6 months.
If the deceased had a partner, we will check whether the partner can get a remigration benefit, or an Anw survivor benefit . If so, we will send the partner a letter about this.
If the deceased did not have a partner but was living with a child for whom a remigration benefit was paid, the child can get a payment every month. To get this payment, the child must be unmarried and under 18.
The amount the child will get is 50% of the remigration benefit for a person living with another adult. If the deceased lived with more than 1 child under 18, the amount will be divided between the children aged under 18.
If a child can get this benefit, we will send the child a letter about this.
