AOW benefit upon return to the Netherlands


Questioner

I am Dutch and born in the Netherlands and lived there for about twenty years and then went to work and live in America. Now I am sixty and want to return to the Netherlands and continue living there. If I retire, will I be entitled to an AOW benefit when I am 67 or 68 years old? When I lived in the Netherlands I only worked for a short period!

Lawyer

For each year that you have lived abroad since you were 15, a 2% reduction is applied to your AOW benefit. If this means that you have too little income and you have almost no assets, you can apply for a supplementary benefit.

Thank you, this question is for my friend, who lives in Ecuador
