Art. 6 Ordinance of 11 June 2021 on Transitional Benefits for Older Unemployed Persons (OPtra) - Calculation of Transitional Benefits in the Event of Separation of Spouses

In the event of separation, the spouse who is not entitled to transitional benefits is not taken into account in the calculation of the benefits.

If both spouses are entitled to transitional benefits, a calculation for single persons is carried out for each of them in the event of separation.

Spouses are considered to be living separately if: a. they have been judicially separated; b. they are in divorce or legal separation proceedings; c. their de facto separation has lasted without interruption for at least one year, or d. it is credible that their de facto separation will be relatively long-lasting.
