An Orphan’s pension benefit ends:

• On the day the AWW pensioner passes away. It is very important to inform SZV immediately after the passing of a pensioner. This is in order to avoid accumulating a debt caused by unrightfully collecting a deceased pensioner’s benefits.
• When the AWW pensioner reaches the age of 25.

The AWW pension benefit is granted upon request. The right to the AWW pension starts on the first day of the calendar month after the death of the parent or guardian. If one should apply for the AWW pension benefits more than 1 year after the passing of deceased, the AWW pension benefits will be granted retroactively by SZV with a maximum of 1 year counting from the month after the date on which the application was submitted.
