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

Description

Includes all persons who received social assistance benefits in a given year (including WE in 2009/2010/2011), BBZ, IOAW, IOAZ, WWIK, and assistance to caregivers and addressless persons (excluding post-payments to persons who were not entitled to benefits during the year). Of these persons is indicated by means of a time key for each day in the year what the estimated monthly tax amount is in the month in which the day falls. The corresponding estimated wage tax has also been given. BBZ stands for Decision 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 former self-employed persons, WWIK stands for Work and Income Artists Act.

The annual amount of a person shall be distributed proportionally over the months during which the person received a benefit. This takes into account the number of days per month that the person had a benefit. In the case of half a month’s benefit, the monthly amount of that month is therefore half lower than a month in which the person had a benefit throughout the whole month. Because monthly amounts can vary within one year, the file has a bus form, so that the applicable monthly amount can be selected at any time. However, it has been corrected for the fact that months have different number of days. Due to this correction, a person’s monthly amount for a whole month’s benefit is always the same, regardless of the exact month. 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. For details of the general methods for determining annual tax amounts data (both before and from 2007), see the description of ANNEX. This stock is in line with the MICBIJSTANDPERSON and ANNEX components (except for post-payments). 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 backgrounds on the history, see the description of MICBIJSTANDPER SOON. 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 tax wages that year. The amounts include holiday allowance. ### Population All persons who, in a given year, received a benefit under the (valid) welfare law (ANNEX (incl. WE in 2009/2010/2011), BBZ, IOAW, IOAZ, WWIK, and assistance to caretakers and addressless persons) (excluding post-payments to persons who were not entitled to benefits during the year).
