If you are only voluntarily insured under the AOW pension scheme, your voluntary AOW insurance will stop when you reach your AOW pension age. We will then send you a contribution invoice for the period from 1 January until the date you reached your AOW pension age.
You are only voluntarily insured under the Anw survivor benefit scheme
If you are only voluntarily insured under the Anw survivor benefit scheme, you can continue your Anw insurance after you reach your AOW pension age. Nothing will change, and you will receive a contribution invoice for the whole year as usual.
