Allowances

Family and child allowances

As a beneficiary, a family allowance will be added to your benefits if you are:

  • Married (prior to the retirement date)
  • Unmarried and in receipt of a child allowance

As a beneficiary, a child allowance will be added to your benefits if you have at least one dependent child. Entitlement to this allowance ceases when the child no longer meets the conditions as defined in the applicable Staff Rules and Regulations.

Amount and calculation

  • Family allowance = 690 CHF per month
  • Child allowance = 491 CHF per month

Allowances are based on the maximum period of membership (35 years or 37 years and 10 months) and are reduced proportionally according to the effective number of years of membership.
