Art. 5 Voluntary insurance

1 On termination of the pension relationship, the insurance can be voluntarily con­tin­ued if the insured member is aged at least 56 and is not subject to mandatory oc­cu­pa­tional pension coverage under the terms of the BVG. The insured salary remains unchanged.
2 Pursuant to Art. 7 Para. 6 and Art. 36 Para. 2, the voluntary insured member is required to pay their share of the con­tri­bu­tions as well as those of the employer. If the member re­quires an AHV bridging pension pursuant to Art. 12 Para. 1, it will be financed at the voluntarily insured member’s expense by means of a lifelong reduction in the retirement pension annuity cal­cu­lated on the basis of actuarial principles (Annex 6). If the voluntarily insured member is in arrears by three monthly con­tri­bu­tions, the voluntary insurance shall cease.
3 The voluntary insurance may continue for a maximum of two years, but shall cease when the member reaches the age of 60.
