Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The insured sought cash payment of her vested benefits from the respondent foundation. The court held that, under Art. 5(1)(c) FZG, the insured may demand payment in cash when the vested benefit is lower than the amount of her annual contributions. Since her salary made affiliation mandatory, the foundation had to pay the vested benefit without deducting the share that should have been withheld from salary.

Omnilex-Regeste

Art. 5(1)(c) FZG; cash payment of vested benefits where the vested benefit is lower than the insured’s annual contributions. The insured is entitled to payment in cash if the statutory comparison yields that the vested benefit does not exceed the amount of the yearly contributions. Where mandatory affiliation followed from the employment income, the foundation may not refuse payment on the ground that a contribution share should have been withheld from salary; the relevant condition is the amount of the vested benefit vis-à-vis annual contributions (consid. not stated).
