Responsible use

Goal and impact

Efficient and uniform processing of and decisions on applications, mutations and re-examinations for assistance, special assistance, IIT, recovery from maintenance debtors and recovery of excess assistance. The algorithm is deployed in an application for residents of the approximately 80 member municipalities and checks during the process for compliance with various (legal) criteria. Throughout the treatment, the consultant is given the opportunity to deviate from the proposed choices of the knowledge system.

Considerations

An advantage of deploying the algorithm is that a lot of manual work by consultants can be saved. Furthermore, by deploying a knowledge system, you safeguard knowledge, simplify complex administrative processes, ensure uniformity in execution and in document output. Partly because of the possibility to intervene in the conclusions drawn by the system, the risks in using the algorithm are negligible, so 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 when using the algorithms defined in the decision tree.

Legal basis

The legal basis for deploying the algorithm is implementation of the statutory task Participation Act (which includes the SUWI Act).
