Reporting changes
If you receive AOW and your details or situation have changed, you must report this to the Social Insurance Bank (SVB) within 6 weeks. You can report changes online via My SVB. If this is not possible, you can contact the SVB by post.
What changes must I report?
If you live abroad and receive AOW, notify the SVB within 6 weeks of the following changes in your personal situation:
- a change of address if you and/or your partner move house or move to another country
- a change in your domestic situation if, for instance, you start to live with someone or separate from your partner and live alone
- a change in your personal situation if, for instance, you marry, divorce, change nationality or your partner dies
- a change in your or your partner’s income if you receive an AOW top-up
- a stay in prison, a detention centre or a secure psychiatric institution
