Responsible use

Goal and impact

By combining income data, vehicle data, financial information and household, we determine whether we can automatically cancel debts. For citizens, this means an administrative burden reduction, as remission does not have to be applied for annually. If relief is not automatically granted due to obstacles identified, citizens are notified and asked to provide additional information, after which they are assessed. This assessment is done manually.

Considerations

Citizens do not have to reapply for remission every year and we ease administrative burdens.

Human intervention

If it turns out that the citizen is not eligible for an automatic waiver, the Water Board will send a letter which information is still needed after which manual reassessment will take place.

Risk management

The biggest risk is in the use of reference dates of assets: reality may have changed in the meantime. This is not a risk for automatic waiver but can also occur for non-automatic waiver. The figures used are transparent and one can appeal.

Legal basis
