How and when will my pension be paid?

The Pensions Service carries out payments on 4 different dates each month. A few days beforehand, you can consult the next payment date of your pension at mypension.beOpens in a new window, your online pension file.

The date on which you receive your pension depends on:

• the type of pension or benefit you receive,
• the country in which you receive the payment (Belgium or abroad).
  
  

How will my pension be paid?

In Belgium, you will preferably be paid by bank transfer. You can consult the date on which your pension will be transferred into your account:

• at mypension.beOpens in a new window, a few days before we pay your pension.
• in the payment calendar.

You can communicate or change your account number:

• through mypension.beOpens in a new window,
• our online contact form,
• by calling the Pension phone line 1765:
  • Press '1' for Dutch; then '0';
  • Enter your case number; 
  • Enter your account number (the 14 digits after 'BE').
• the post, by means of this downloadable form.

Please note:

• This must be a personal current account of which you are the holder or joint holder. An authorisation for the account does not suffice.
• If you change your account number or bank, do not close your previous account until we have paid your pension into the new account for the 1st time. In this way, you avoid any interruptions in the payment of your pension.
