When you change jobs

If you change employers. You may opt to take your accrued pension with you to your new pension provider.​

When you change jobs – and therefore move to a different pension scheme – you can choose to take your accrued pension with you. This is referred to as value transfer*. You submit your request to this end to your new pension provider. Obtain proper advice on this in advance. Whether value transfer is a good choice depends primarily on the indexation policy and the financial situation of Forward and that of your new pension provider. If you decide not to request a value transfer, your pension remains with Forward and will be paid to you from your official retirement age. 
 

* Since July 2023, there is a new Dutch Pension Act (Wet toekomst pensioenen). As a result, most pension funds have to move to a new scheme.If one fund has already transitioned and the other has not (but does have that intention), it is required by law that a request for value transfer is suspended until both funds have completed their transition. If this is the case, we will inform you after you have submitted a non-binding request.
