Widow's pension cut above €1,871 gross income
Original: rente wegen todes
Attention is turning to widow's pensions in Germany, with reports that benefits are reduced once a surviving spouse's gross income exceeds 1,871 euros. The rule determines how much of the survivor's pension is withheld depending on additional earnings. Many people are unaware of the income thresholds and are discussing where the limits lie and how the deductions are calculated.
Why now: New coverage of the income threshold at which German widow's pensions are reduced is prompting survivors to check how their benefits are affected.
