The eligibility of the beneficiaries to receive a pension is assessed on the date of the member’s death. The beneficiaries of an active or retired member having died are:
- the widow(er) and/or divorced spouses, not having died or remarried. Common-law partners or partners linked to the deceased by a Civil Solidarity Pact (PACS) are not recognised for entitlement to a survivor’s pension,
- their children (subject to certain conditions: children in full-time education under the age of 21, or disabled children of any age).
The beneficiary’s income is not taken into account in assessing entitlement to a CRPN survivor’s pension.
