Goal and impact
The Intelligence Bureau exchanges data every month between municipalities and the Polis administration of the Institute for Employee Benefit Schemes (UWV). This involves requesting data on wages, benefits and pensions. It then checks whether there are any new income ratios ('earnings'). If so, the municipality receives one notification of this.
Considerations
The 'Signal start Income relationship' is part of the information service Samenloopsignalering (see algorithm 'Samenloopsignalering'). Only the points belonging to 'Signal start Income relationship' are discussed here (see SUWI data register for the definition of Income relationship (link: https://sgr.bkwi.nl/sgr/Report%20HTML%20SGR18.0.htm).
A person on benefits must self-report any changes that may affect the right to or amount of benefits. This applies, for example, to income from work, pension or other benefits. This income is then taken into account. The municipality must check that a person on social assistance benefits has no new income that has not (yet) been reported. The Social Insurance Bank (SVB) must also check this for supplementary income provision for the elderly (AIO).
Instead of always doing their own research, municipalities can receive information from the Inlichtingenbureau when there is a new income. This allows them to engage with their residents if there is unknown income.
The algorithm ensures that a municipality only receives data on residents with social assistance benefits and a signal on new income. This keeps residents' privacy protected. Another advantage is that the algorithm works faster and more efficiently than if the municipality had to do this itself. This saves municipal employees a lot of time. Also, fewer mistakes are made, and the municipality can get the right information faster. This prevents them from having to ask for money back later.
Human intervention
At the Intelligence Bureau itself, this algorithm does not involve human intervention. However, the Intelligence Bureau does ensure that the processing process has been done properly.
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
For the generic basis of the processing of personal data in the context of the "Samenloopsignalering" information service, see PIA Samenloopsignalering Algemeen (PIP6).
A household is entitled to assistance when it has insufficient resources (income and assets) to meet its living costs. This principle is enshrined in the Participation Act. The signal start income relationship supports municipalities in checking whether social assistance recipients report these incomes, which is mandatory as described in Article 17 (Intelligence obligation) in the Participation Act.

- Sections 64(1)(b) and 68, Participation Act
- Sections 33(2)(a) to (c) and (9) j° Section 62 of the Work and Income Implementation Structure Act (SUWI Act)
- Section 35(2) and (4) j° Section 62 of the SUWI Act
Basis for processing SVB (as recipient)
- Article 47a, first paragraph, Participation Act
Basis of processing IB:
- Article 64, third paragraph, and Article 68, Participation Act
- Article 63, Article 5.24(1) and (3), SUWI Decree & Articles 6.2 and 6.6 SUWI Regulation
Basis of processing Municipalities:
- Chapter 5 'Implementation' and Chapter 6 'Powers and facilities of municipalities' Participation Act
- Article 62 SUWI Act

Technical design
Notes:
A. A municipality and SVB deliver a file relating to the current (social assistance) population to the IB monthly via the secure client portal. After each delivery, a processing report is published, listing any errors in the delivery;
B. A (demand) file with which data are periodically requested in bulk from UWV regarding the benefit populations of municipalities / SVB;
C. The delivery of the bulk (response) file from UWV containing data from the Polis administration of the requested population;
D. (temporary) storage of supplied citizen service number (BSN) and corresponding signals in provision of assistance population. The IB compares whether there is an overlap in the supplied data and applies logic to only forward new income ratios to municipalities / SVB once;
E. In case of overlap, the IB provides a signal to municipalities / SVB.

Similar algorithm descriptions
- 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

- Some residents receive income support, such as welfare benefits. You are then only allowed to have a maximum amount of money or equity. It is the municipality's job to check this. Therefore, the municipality gets information about the assets of this group. The municipality uses filtering to decide who to investigate further.Last change on 27th of June 2024, at 12:56 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0

- Income can affect the right and amount of a benefit. The Intelligence Bureau uses an algorithm to determine, based on data from the Tax Office and municipalities, whether there is income (box 1) in the period when an assistance benefit was also received.Last change on 17th of December 2024, at 12:13 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
