AOW and Cost-sharing standard: Your questions answered

Questioner

Man, 72 years old, AOW, temporarily takes in his married son, daughter-in-law and grandchild for 6 months. Contribute to total costs........which AOW will I receive.

Lawyer

Due to the fact that your son, daughter-in-law and grandchild live with you, the cost-sharing standard applies, which means that your AOW will be as follows: (40% + 4x30%) = 160% divided by 4 = 40%. Your standard amount will then be 40% times the amount for single people € 1173.33 = € 469.32 (this only applies if the grandchild is over 21 years old) If the grandchild is under 21 years of age, your state pension will be: €508.40

Questioner

Thank you for the information, but the participation law/cost-sharing standard has been withdrawn, so not applicable. In my situation, where my son, daughter-in-law and grandchild live together, is there a structure whereby I do not have my unmarried AOW benefit of E1173 withheld? BVD, Kind regards,

Lawyer

the cost-sharing standard for the AOW has been withdrawn, not for the AIO supplement. In your case, no deduction will take place due to 1st degree consanguinity.
