Welfare, reexamination

If you Municipality of Zoetermeer benefits (social assistance/IOAW or IOAZ) from the Municipality of Zoetermeer , you will receive an annual request to complete a form for the 'social assistance reassessment'. You are obliged to provide us with the requested information for the reassessment. This obligation falls under your duty to provide information.

Do you have a partner and do you receive joint benefits? If so, the form will also contain questions for your partner. Please complete the form together.

During this investigation, we will check whether we still have the correct information about you.

During a reassessment, the municipality will check whether you are still receiving the correct benefit. For example:

  • Have there been any changes in your situation that would result in you receiving more or less benefits?
  • Has any income you may have (e.g., alimony) been correctly deducted from your benefits?
  • Is your equity capital correctly determined?
  • Has your personal situation changed, resulting in you needing to receive more or less benefits?

Change in your situation?

If there are any changes in your situation that could affect your entitlement to social assistance, please notify your income manager as soon as possible. For more information , see Social assistance, reporting changes.

What to do?

When the review starts, you will receive a letter from us asking you to complete a 'social assistance review' form. As long as you have not yet received any notification from us about the review, you do not need to do anything.

Before you start filling out the form, it is useful to gather all the documents you need to attach to the form.

What documents do you need?

  • To complete the form digitally, you will need your DigiD login details. If you do not have a DigiD, please refer to thesimple explanation on how to apply for one.
  • Your bank statements for the past 3 months.
    • These are statements from your bank accounts and savings accounts. If you have other accounts, such as PayPal, a credit card, or a business account, you must also submit these. You can find out how to download a PDF file of your bank statements on your bank's website. Screenshots and Excel files are not accepted.
  • Do you receive benefits together? Then we also need your partner's statements.
  • Do your children under the age of 18 still live at home? If so, we will also need your children's bank statements.

Has anything changed? And have you not yet informed us of this? If so, we ask that you also send us supporting documents. These could include, for example:

  • You have recently started volunteering and receive a volunteer allowance. In that case, we need your volunteer agreement.
  • You are receiving new income, other than the benefit from the municipality of Zoetermeer (for example, you have started working, are receiving a pension, or are receiving alimony). Has this income not yet been deducted from your benefit? If so, we will also need details of this.
  • Have you received a large sum of money or expensive items (for example, won money or received an inheritance)? If so, we ask that you also attach documents relating to this.

In some cases, we may require additional information from you after receiving the form. We may then ask you to send us additional documents. You will be notified of this. Sometimes we invite you for an interview.
