What do statutory life and disability benefits cover?

Employees are entitled to life insurance benefits through statutory pension insurance. A survivor pension is payable to a surviving spouse or civil partner and is determined by the deceased’s anticipated pension. An orphan’s pension is also payable to a qualifying orphan. There are several factors that determine these pension amounts.
