Annual amounts of persons benefiting from social assistance (01-01-1999-01-01-2017)

Description

Includes all persons who in a given year have received a benefit under the (valid) Assistance Act (INSTAND (incl. WE in 2009/2010/2011), BBZ, IOAW, IOAZ, WWIK and assistance to caregivers and addressless persons) (including post-payments). They are given the annual tax amount received, as well as the payroll tax on that amount, as well as the number of calendar days in the year in which a person received social assistance benefits. BBZ stands for Decree on the provision of assistance for self-employed persons, IOAW stands for the Income Supply Act for older and partially disabled unemployed workers, IOAZ stands for the Income Supply Act for older and partially disabled self-employed persons, WWIK stands for the Work and Income Artists Act.

For details of the general methods for determining the persons receiving social assistance benefits and the corresponding periods (both before and from 2007), see the description of MICBIJSTANDPERSON.Until 2006: The tax data is extracted exclusively from the Fibase (Fiscale database). There can only be people who have received a positive amount of benefit within the year. Looking at the percentage of benefits linked to the Fibase, we can conclude that the 2006 reporting year has the lowest linking rates so far. How exactly that is, is unclear. If a partner has been declared at the time of the application, the amount of the benefit will be divided between both partners.From 2007 onwards: The tax data are in principle extracted from the Polis (is already at person level, thus divided between partners). However, in some cases, the gross amount is taxed and used according to the data of the team providing the social security data (Social Security team) (and the corresponding amount of payroll tax calculated using a standard procedure). This happens when the tax data are inplausible in relation to the gross amounts. These gross amounts are also distributed among both partners (if there is a household benefit). The tax data of the unknown benefits (Type of income = 88 or code not in code book) in the policy are also used if they link with the population in question and have not yet linked to the WW and AO populations. There may be persons who have not received an amount of benefits within the year, but social security data do count among the population of persons benefiting from benefits within the year. Between 2006 and 2007, the methodology for measuring the number of persons benefiting from social assistance has changed significantly. This may also have had an impact on the amounts. For more information and background on history, see also the description of MICBIJSTANDPERSOON. On 1 January 2013, the Uniforming Wage Concept Act (WUL) entered into force. Part of this is that from 2013 the employer’s health insurance Act will no longer be counted in the case of taxable (taxable) pay, but is withheld directly by the employer. Since the introduction of the WUL, the tax wage (therefore) is equal to the total gross benefit paid and we therefore see a decrease in the tax wage that year.For all years, it is possible that there are amounts of persons who have not received a benefit during the year (number of calendar days is zero). These amounts can be seen as a post-payment (for example, of deceased persons).The amounts include holiday pay. ### Population All persons with a benefit under the (valid) Assistance Act in a given year (including post-payments).
