If you have been granted ongoing survivors' benefits, for example under the Federal Pension Act or from statutory accident insurance, you can apply for a lump sum. You will also receive this lump sum if the right to the benefits is suspended or if you have received a lump-sum settlement for the entitlement to the benefits.
