What is an orphan’s pension?

Both the orphan’s pension and the widow’s pension belong to the category “pension due to death” in the statutory pension insurance. The orphan’s pension always applies when one or both parents die.
Under certain conditions, minor children are legally entitled to an orphan’s pension. This replaces the child maintenance that was previously paid by one or both parents.
