Could someone please point us in the right direction concerning our AHV?
My husband and I left Zurich just over 6 years ago. (We were not married when we lived in Switzerland if that makes any difference to tax payments).
Me: I have dual citizenship - NZ and UK - so I understand that even though we now live in NZ I am unable to withdraw my AHV. However from posts in this form I understand that I should probably move it to a different canton like Schwyz - is this correct? And I can do this by contacting a finance company that offers FZ accounts. Is this better than trying to transfer it to an NZ pension fund - am I allowed to do this?
The husband: only has NZ citizenship. When we left Switzerland, he thought that he had been paid out his AHV. But it was a very small amount - around 2,000 to 3,000 CHF I think - he worked in Switzerland for about 3 years. So perhaps this was only Pillar 1 - do you get a payment from Pillar 1 when leaving?
How can we find out if he has further payments due? I have the link to the refund form

but don't want to go through collecting all the paperwork only to find there is nothing for him to claim.
If he is still owed a refund, is it better for him to transfer the money to a different canton than ZH with a lower tax rate before requesting the refund?
Thanks for any help!
