Declaration of the professional activity

If you want to keep on working after your retirement and you want to claim a retirement pension for families, you must declare all professional activities that may produce an income in advance. This is also the case when you make an appeal to an intermediary or when you keep on working abroad. In principle also your husband/wife must suspend his/her professional activity.
The activity must be declared within a predefined term.
If you do not declare the professional activity or you declare it too late, sanctions will be imposed.

To which institution the professional activity must be declared, depends on your situation.

  • You only receive a pension for self-employed persons
    You must declare your professional activity to the NISSE.
  • You receive a pension for self-employed persons, as well as a pension for employees
    You must declare your professional activity
    • either to the NISSE
    • or to the National Pension Agency
    The declaration submitted to one institution will automatically also count for the other organisation.
  • You receive a pension and exercise a professional activity as an employee
    You must inform your employer that you receive a pension.
    Your employer must then inform the competent pension agency.
    Attention! This rule does not apply if your husband/wife works as an employee and you enjoy a retirement pension for families.
