Goal and impact
Each month, municipalities provide data on welfare recipients to the IB. These data are compared with data from other municipalities. Overlap may occur: this means that a resident receives assistance not only from his (current) home municipality, but perhaps also from another municipality. The IB informs both municipalities for which overlap has been identified about this. Municipalities can use this information to inquire with the benefit recipient or contact the municipality where the benefit recipient is also registered.
Considerations
The algorithm ensures that municipalities only provide assistance to their own residents. An advantage of using this algorithm is that the resident gets what he is entitled to.
Human intervention
At the IB itself, this algorithm does not involve human intervention. However, the IB does ensure that the processing process has gone well.
The municipality decides whether and how to implement a change.
Risk management
Citizen privacy is a major concern. That is why we periodically check whether there are risks and what can be done about them. This is called privacy impact assessment (PIA).
Legal basis
Basis of processing Municipalities:
- Article 40 Participation Act

- chapter 5 'Implementation' and chapter 6 'Powers and facilities of municipalities' Participation Act
- Section 45(1)(a) Income Support for Elderly and Partly Incapacitated Former Self-Employed Persons Act (IOAW)
- Section 45(1)(a) Income Support for Older and Partially Disabled Unemployed Workers Act (IOAZ)
Basis for processing IB:
- Sections 64(3) and 68 of the Participation Act
- Article 45(2), IOAW
- Article 45(2), IOAZ
- Section 63 of the Work and Income Implementation Organisation Act (SUWI), Section 5.24(1) and (3) of the SUWI Decree & Sections 6.2 and 6.6 of the SUWI Regulation.

Data
See the algorithm "Concurrent signalling" and the PIA "Legality General" for the data that are by default part of a signal.
Below are the data specific to this signal:
- BSN (Benefit Entitlement Partner)
- Concurrence code (showing what type of benefit it concerns)
- Start date of benefit period with another municipality
- Benefit period end date with another municipality
- Municipality code from which the GSD notification originates
- Municipality from which the GSD notification originates
Technical design
In a general sense, this information product for determining concurrence between the benefit period and a relevant situation follows the method described in the PIA Concurrence Signalling General. In this case, a comparison is carried out for each adult person from households entitled to social assistance with benefit periods that are known in the social assistance population facility. This facility contains all general social assistance, IOAW and IOAZ benefits provided by Dutch municipalities.
If the benefit recipient is known to receive a benefit from another municipality whereby the benefit period (partially) overlaps, this is known as concurrence and a concurrence signal is issued to both municipalities. A signal is made only from the moment the last benefit start date is more than 35 days ago. This "waiting period" of 35 days prevents unnecessary signals, as the leaving municipality still needs time to administratively terminate a benefit and make this known to the IB via the monthly StUF delivery.
The data processing flows:
A. A municipality delivers a file relating to the current social assistance population to the IB monthly via the secure customer portal. After each delivery, a processing report is published, listing any errors in the delivery;
B. (temporary) storage of delivered BSN and corresponding signals in the social assistance population provision (client tracking provision);
C. Every month, provided the municipality has set this up, a signal report is published on the portal with a total overview of the signals of the current population.

- A resident who has been given a prison sentence and is trying to evade it is called a fugitive convict. These residents are not entitled to assistance. Municipalities must check this and, if necessary, stop the assistance benefit after investigation.Last change on 11th of October 2024, at 8:14 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- The Intelligence Agency receives lists of people with social assistance benefits from municipalities and compares these with data from sources such as UWV, DUO and the Tax and Customs Administration. If there is an overlap (concurrence) that could affect the benefit, IB sends a message to the municipalities. The municipality can then carry out further checks.Last change on 16th of July 2024, at 13:03 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- Someone with social assistance benefit and (also) income from employment or another benefit will receive less benefit under the Participation Act. Excess benefit payments can also be reclaimed. To get a good overview of this income, municipalities can request information from the IB.Last change on 17th of December 2024, at 12:26 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- The aim of the information service is to help the municipality understand which citizens may be entitled to special assistance, due to incomplete state pension benefits. The algorithm works like a postman, receiving a list of citizens from the SVB, splitting it up and delivering it. So that each municipality receives a list of its own citizens.Last change on 19th of June 2024, at 9:08 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- Is a house shared by several adults? Then the assistance benefit may change. This is because housing costs can then be shared. But not all housemates count towards the benefit. The Intelligence Agency uses an algorithm to determine this and lets municipalities know if anything changes in the household.Last change on 17th of December 2024, at 12:49 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
