Goal and impact
Sometimes citizens have incomplete state pension benefits. They may be entitled to special assistance. But they sometimes do not know that. The municipality can inform them about this. But to do so, the municipality needs to know which citizens are concerned. That is why the Social Insurance Bank draws up a list of citizens who may be entitled to it. Using this algorithm, the Inlichtingenbureau ensures that each municipality only receives data on its own residents and not on residents of other municipalities.
In principle, it is the citizens' own responsibility to apply for income assistance. But municipalities are encouraged to help vulnerable citizens. So this is in the citizen's interest.
Considerations
The algorithm ensures that a municipality only receives data from its own residents. This protects citizens' privacy. An advantage of using this algorithm is that dividing up the national list is much faster than if done by hand. This saves a lot of time for municipal employees. Also, fewer mistakes are made this way.
Human intervention
At the Intelligence Agency itself, this algorithm does not involve human intervention. However, functional administrators do ensure that the process has gone well.
The municipality can tell the citizen that they may be entitled to extra help. The municipality can also choose to grant this help automatically. The municipality makes the decision on this.
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).

Technical design
The source data contains a field with the municipality code. The algorithm splits the source file based on these municipality codes and divides it into a smaller file per municipality.
The information service's generic services include:
Splitting a source file to be received monthly from SVB by municipality and delivering it to municipality based on a report in CSV.

- 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

- An assistance recipient can only apply for assistance from the municipality where the resident is registered. For example, as a result of moving house, a person may receive assistance from several municipalities. Stichting Inlichtingenbureau (IB) informs the municipalities about this. The municipalities can then stop unlawful ongoing benefits.Last change on 11th of October 2024, at 8:40 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0
