I am over 58 years old and have lost my job. Is there any way I can continue to be insured with a pension fund?

Since January 1, 2021, persons over the age of 58 can request continued insurance coverage with their previous pension fund after losing their job. Both old-age savings and risk benefits can be continued to the same extent. It is important to remember that if you continue to be insured, you will have to pay both the employer's and the employee's contributions.

If you are over 58 years old and would like to continue your insurance, please contact us by mail (bvg@zurich.ch) or phone (0800 80 80 80).
