Receive a parental pension from agricultural accident insurance
Source: BUS Rheinland-Pfalz
The Landwirtschaftliche Berufsgenossenschaft pays you as a parent a regular parental pension in the event of your child's death as a result of an insured event (accident at work or on the way to work, occupational illness).
This applies to
- parents
- step-parents
- foster parents
The prerequisite is that the deceased person provided for your maintenance or would have done so in the future.
You will receive the parental pension for as long as you would have been entitled to maintenance from the deceased person due to the need for maintenance if the insured event had not occurred.
The pension amounts to:
- 20 percent for one parent,
- 30 percent for a couple,
of the annual earnings (salary and other forms of earnings such as bonuses or holiday bonuses) of the deceased.
If you receive the parental pension as a couple and your wife or husband dies, you will not immediately receive the parental pension for one parent (20 percent). Instead, you will continue to receive the amount for one parent (30 percent) for 3 months.
Your own income will not be offset against the parental pension.
