Social domain: eServices for applications

The algorithm is used by about 50 municipalities and, based on read-in data and answers given by the applicant, determines whether the applicant is eligible for any of the benefits to be applied for.

Goal and impact

Efficient and uniform intake of and decisions on applications for assistance, special assistance, Bbz, IIT and mini schemes. The algorithm is deployed in an application for residents of the approximately 50 member municipalities and checks during the application whether the applicant meets various (legal) criteria. The outcome is shared with the applicant.

Considerations

An advantage of deploying the algorithm is that a lot of manual work by consultants can be saved. By deploying an algorithm at the front end of the process, you can be sure that the data will enter the systems in the right way and prevent unjustified requests. Risks in using the algorithm are not significant, which means proportionality is in order.

Human intervention

The employee has the ability to override the outcome of the algorithm.

Risk management

There are no foreseen risks in using the algorithms defined in the decision tree. The only appointable risk is that an applicant mistakenly does not submit an application because of an expectation raised by the system about the outcome. This is mitigated by making the application as user-friendly as possible and displaying the explanations on the screens as clearly as possible.

Legal basis

The legal basis for deploying the algorithm is the implementation of the statutory task Participation Act (which includes the SUWI Act), the Municipalities Act and WEU (One-Stop Demand Act).
