Apply to have your pension transferred to your spouse's bank account

Do you share a bank account with your spouse? You do not need to have a separate account in order to receive a pension. If you want your pension to go into your spouse’s account, you can request this using the form.

How should I proceed?

1

Visit the bank

where your spouse has an account.

3

Get your spouse to sign the application,

by which they consent to the transfer of benefits to the account in question.

4

Have the application form certified

by the relevant bank.

5

Send the form certified by the bank to the Social Insurance Agency

  • to the relevant Social Insurance Agency branch; or
  • to the Social Insurance Agency head office (Sociálna poisťovňa, ústredie, Ul. 29. augusta č. 8, 813 63 Bratislava 1); or
  • via your electronic mailbox if you have activated it and you use an electronic citizen’s identity card – eID (you can find more information at the Central Government Portal slovensko.sk).
6

Wait for written notification

of the change, which will be sent to you by the Social Insurance Agency.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
Obsah

You can only apply to have your pension transferred to your spouse’s bank account if you have the right to dispose of the funds in that account at the time you receive your pension.

Can I have my pension sent to another family member’s bank account?

Text

No, your pension cannot be transferred to the bank account of a family member other than the spouse. Nor can it be paid to an account owned by your special beneficiary or guardian.

How long does it take for the Social Insurance Agency to pay my pension into my spouse's account?

Text

A maximum of three months, but these should be calculated from the date of the pension payment following the calendar month in which the application was received by the Social Insurance Agency. This means that if your application was received by the Social Insurance Agency on, for example, January 10 and your pension payment date is the 20th of the month, you will have your pension paid to your spouse's account no later than April 20 of that year.
