Key legal question
Whether the pension fund adequately informed insured persons about the new written designation requirement for a life partner pension.
Extracted holding
No. The fund’s letters and enclosed materials did not clearly alert insured persons to the changed and more onerous conditions for the life partner pension, so the statutory information duty was not met.
Extracted reasoning
The correspondence mentioned general regulatory changes but omitted any specific reference to the life partner pension or its new constitutive written-notification requirement. Mere delivery of the new regulations and attendance at information meetings did not suffice.
