Choose or switch 2nd pillar pension plan
There are two options. You can:
- Add the capital accrued in the 1st pension pillar and receive pensions from both pillars together every month.
- Sign a life annuity insurance contract, entrusting the capital accrued in the 2nd pension pillar to an insurance company of your choice, and receive a pension from the 2nd pillar at a fixed regularity.
In both cases, the payout of the requested 2nd pillar pension is guaranteed in a fixed amount until the end of your life.
Good to know! You can designate any person as the beneficiary in the life annuity insurance contract. The beneficiary is paid the life pension payable to the insured person from the date of the insured person's death until the end of the life pension guaranteed payout period.
More information on the payout of 2nd pillar pension capital is available at the State Social Insurance Agency (VSAA).
About inheriting
Yes, the 2nd pillar pension capital is inheritable. Each 2nd pension pillar participant who has not yet claimed their old-age pension can choose one of the three options for using their accrued capital in case the participant dies before attaining the retirement age.
You can choose to:
- Have the capital transferred to the state pension special budget. The accrued capital will be taken into account in the calculation of the survivor's pension for persons who were the participant's dependants.
- Add the capital to a specific person’s 2nd pillar pension capital.
- Leave the capital as inheritance according as laid down in the Civil Law
Note! If no choice is made, the savings will be transferred to the state pension special budget.
Choose the option for bequeathing your 2nd pillar pension capital that best suits your life situation.
- If you have started working, you can initially choose to leave your 2nd pillar pension capital as inheritance as laid down in the Civil Law, or to bequeath it to a designated person.
- Once you have a family and children, you can choose to have it transferred to the state pension special budget to be taken into account in the calculation of the survivor's pension.
- When the children get older, you can again choose to leave the capital as inheritance according to the procedure laid down in the Civil Law, or to bequeath it to a designated person.
You can change your choice an unlimited number of times on the latvija.gov.lv portal or at the State Social Insurance Agency (VSAA). The VSAA will take the latest choice into account.
- Log in to the portal latvija.gov.lv and go to "Services" > "Application for inheritance of capital accumulated in the 2nd pension pillar".
