Self-employed people can extend guaranteed income insurance until the age of 67

Name: Vanbreda Risk & Benefits
Price range: $

The legal retirement age in Belgium is currently 65 years, but rises to 66 in 2025 and 67 in 2030. If you’re self-employed it therefore makes sense to also extend your guaranteed income insurance until the age of 67. This insurance has numerous benefits, including the guarantee that you will remain covered until the statutory retirement age against loss of income caused by an inability to work due to illness or accident. In the attached document we explain how you can easily extend your current insurance.

The guaranteed income insurance is designed to protect you against loss of income during your working life. The retirement age has been set at 67 years from 2030. It has recently become possible to extend this insurance on favourable terms.
