Social domain: eServices for applications

The algorithm is used by about 50 municipalities and, based on read-in data and answers given by the applicant, determines whether the applicant is eligible for the requested benefit.

Goal and impact

This algorithm is used to efficiently and evenly process applications for (special) assistance, Bbz (Besluit bijstandsverlening zelfstandigen), IIT (individuele inkomenstoeslag) and mini schemes. The algorithm is deployed in an application for residents of the approximately 50 member municipalities and checks during the application whether the applicant meets various (legal) criteria. The outcome is shared with the applicant.

Considerations

An advantage of deploying the algorithm is that many requests are processed automatically. This leaves employees time for the special and/or complicated requests. By deploying an algorithm at the front end of the process, you are assured that data enters the systems correctly and you prevent unjustified applications. Risks when using the algorithm are very small. In fact, employees always have the option to intervene.

Human intervention

The employee has the option to disregard the outcome of the algorithm.

Risk management

There are no foreseen risks in using the algorithms defined in the decision tree. The only appointable risk is that someone mistakenly does not submit an application because the system already predicts a certain outcome. This is avoided as much as possible by making the application as user-friendly as possible and displaying the explanations on the screens as clearly as possible.

Legal basis

The legal basis for deploying the algorithm is the implementation of the statutory task Participation Act (which includes the SUWI Act), the Municipalities Act and WEU (One-Stop Demand Act).
