Monthly amounts of persons with an Unemployment Act (WW) benefit (01-01-1999-01-01-2017)

Description

Includes all persons who received unemployment benefit (WW) in a given year (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. More information on how to access the data: > https://www.cbs.nl/nl-nl/onze-diensten/maatwerk-en-microdata/microdata-zelf-onderzoek-doen ### Methodology The monthly amounts are derived from the MICWWPERSOON and WWJAARDRAG components. 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 unemployment benefits and the associated periods (both before and from 2007), see the description of MICWWPERSOON. For details of the general methods for determining annual tax amounts data (both before and from 2007), see the description of WWYAARDRAG. This stock is in line with the MICWWPERSOON and WWJAARBEDRAG components (excluding post-payments). Between 2006 and 2007, the methodology of these stocks has changed significantly, leading to a trend break in the number of persons receiving unemployment benefits. This may also have had an impact on the amounts. For more information and background on the history, see the description of MICWWPERSOON. 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.The amounts are inclusive of holiday pay.This file, as mentioned, matches the MICWWPERSOON and WWJAARBEDRAG components (except for post-payments). You see a trend break in the affiliation of 2015 to 2016 in terms of the number of people (in MICWWPERSOON and therefore also in WWMNDBEDRAG). This is due to an improvement in the methodology of the source files used (components WWPERSOON of the Social Security team), which leads to a significant decrease in the number of people. For more information, see MICWWPERSOON’s meta. For more information, please contact the Social Security team. Team Social Security has brought back the above improvement from 2013 onwards (there have been new versions of those files from team SOZ). That is why the populations of WW in 2013, 2014 and 2015 now diverge between the MICWWPERSOON/WWWYAARDRAG/WWMNDBEDRAG components (which have not been renewed) and the latest versions of the WWPERSOON components of team Social Security. ### Population All persons who received unemployment benefit (WW) in a given year (excluding post-payments to persons who were not entitled to benefits during the year).
