Goal and impact

Extra work rewards the municipality of Arnhem with extra money. The additional earnings reward is accrued when a resident on welfare benefits works part-time. This scheme is a two-year trial and will last until July 2025.


The resident does not have to apply for this trial. The additional earning reward will automatically receive the resident through an algorithm when they submit a payslip showing the salary.

The additional earnings reward is paid twice a year (March and September) when the resident receives a Participation Act (PW) benefit. The additional earnings reward is paid once a year (September) when the resident receives IOAW/IOAZ benefits.


The additional earning reward does not affect the level of the resident's benefit. Even if the part-time work ceases, the resident retains the benefit. Accrual of the additional-earning reward stops, but the benefit continues. Receiving the reward also does not affect the amount of tax benefits.

Considerations

The municipality of Arnhem wants as many people as possible to make the best use of their abilities and participate in society. If a resident is on social assistance benefit, part-time work can be a nice first step to regain familiarity with work. The municipality of Arnhem therefore believes that part-time work on social assistance benefit may be financially rewarded. The money the resident receives does not affect any benefits or taxes the citizen pays. So the resident does not have to worry about this.

Human intervention

The results of the algorithm involve list work that is checked by the administration (in person) at file level and processed in the records. Checking involves human intervention at all times.

Risk management

There are no risks for the resident. The results of the algorithm are always checked and processed by an official. In addition, the money received by the resident does not affect any surcharges or taxes paid by the resident.

Legal basis

- Participation Act

Operations

Data

Residents with income and welfare benefits provide what they earn monthly with income slips. This data is processed in the administration. The benefit and income are offset and are the basis for determining the additional earnings.

Technical design

The financial data around income and welfare benefits are input for the algorithm. A formula is used to calculate the amount of additional earnings. The output is a list work in the form of a report.

  • Is a house shared by several adults? Then the assistance benefit may change. This is because housing costs can then be shared. But not all housemates count towards the benefit. The Intelligence Agency uses an algorithm to determine this and lets municipalities know if anything changes in the household.

  • A resident who has been given a prison sentence and is trying to evade it is called a fugitive convict. These residents are not entitled to assistance. Municipalities must check this and, if necessary, stop the assistance benefit after investigation.

  • 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.
