Työntekijäin eläkelain 4 a §:n 1 momentin mukaan työntekijän kuoltua suoritetaan edunsaajille perhe-eläkettä, jos työntekijällä oli kuollessaan oikeus tämän lain vähimmäisehtojen mukaiseen vanhuus- tai työkyvyttömyyseläkkeeseen tai jos hän sai mainittua eläkettä. Tälläisen edunjättäjän jälkeen edunsaajia ovat muun muassa leski, jonka kanssa edunjättäjä oli solminut avioliiton ennen kuin oli täyttänyt 65 vuotta.
