Survivors’ pensions in Åland

The Finnish pension system applies in Åland, as do the rules governing survivors’ pensions. A surviving spouse’s pension is a form of financial support provided when a partner has died. An orphan’s pension is financial support for children if a parent or other guardian dies. Surviving spouse’s pensions and orphan’s pensions are classified as survivors’ pensions and may be paid by both Kela and earnings-related pension institutions.
