Your pension benefits will be deposited into your bank account around the 25th day of each month. You will also receive a statement for the first payment. This statement shows your gross and net pension amounts. Pensioenfonds Ernst & Young in liquidatie automatically deducts taxes from your pension. We deposit the net amount into your bank account. If the amount of the benefits changes, you will receive a new benefits statement.
