Mixed career

When you have had a mixed career (including also years of salaried employment) and you have already submitted an application under the employee scheme, you need not submit an additional application for a pension as a self-employed person. There is, nonetheless, the proviso that in your application as a salaried employee you made reference to your years as a self-employed person or assistant during your professional career.

Note: You have a mixed career as self-employed and public servant and you have reached the age of 60.
The date on which you submit your pension application as public servant (or the date of the occurrence that led to an official examination in that sector) will serve as the date of submission of your application within the self-employment scheme. In such an instance, you are required to submit your application for a pension as a self-employed person within six months after you received the decision about your public sector pension.

Every pension institution will examine your pension entitlements within its own scheme. The different pension institutions keep in contact with each other and exchange information on their decisions.

You may thus receive a pension in each one of the different schemes. This pension corresponds to a fraction. The sum of those various fractions needs to be smaller than the whole.
If the sum is larger, the fraction that expresses your pension as a self-employed person needs to be lowered.
