“When a person turns 65 years in Belgium, the Department of Pensions sends him a message: “You have become a pensioner. Confirm your bank account number to receive your monthly salary.”
– “And if you have any problems, call us at this number ….. to schedule an interview”.
Some advantages of being a pensioner in Belgium:
• Reduced rent and monthly support (for rent).
• Right for social security
• Purchase of house at nominal rate.
• Reduced electricity tariff.
• Subsidized transportation
• Reasonable health care
• Dental care is semi-free, and if you don’t return to the dentist within a year, you’ll be fined.
• Other benefits – priorities, community support, etc.
