Goal and impact
We need some information to assess whether you are entitled to sickness benefit. We therefore ask you to complete a digital questionnaire after you report sick. The questionnaire uses an algorithm. Based on your answers, the questionnaire shows only the questions that fit your situation.
Considerations
Human intervention
UWV employees monitor the use of the algorithm in the following ways:
- We regularly check whether the algorithm uses the correct data.
- Our employees look carefully at the benefit assessment. They carry out the assessment themselves. So the algorithm does not make decisions itself.
- We regularly check questionnaire results and the quality of assessments.
Risk management
We ensure that we remain compliant with information security and privacy requirements. We do this in the following ways:
- We continuously work on algorithm maintenance.
- We delete data that is not (or no longer) important.
- We have independent organisations check our compliance with legal and ethical standards.
- An external and independent organisation carries out quality checks to test whether the algorithm is careful. This is done in addition to the standard checks that our specialist UWV staff already do.
The algorithm of the digital sickness notification questionnaire has been developed so that everyone applying for sickness benefit is treated in the same way. This is done as follows:
- The algorithm does not use personal characteristics such as origin, BSN and postal code.
- The algorithm always uses the same basic data from everyone.
- The algorithm processes all answers and other data in the same way.
Legal basis
Sickness law

Operations
Data
The algorithm uses the following data:
- gender
- type of insurance
- reason for absence
- expected recovery date
- date of dismissal (end date of employment)
Technical design
The algorithm processes the entered data and ensures you get questions that fit your situation. For example, your answer to 'gender' determines whether you will be asked questions about pregnancy.
With all the information from the questionnaire, we can see whether you are entitled to sickness benefit. We will also see what follow-up steps are necessary for you:
- We look at whether you are (temporarily) unable to do your own work.
- We look at how hard your work is.
- We look at what services we can offer you and whether we will contact you.

Reinforcement scenario consideration for homes not meeting safety standard
National coordinator Groningen
If homes are not declared at standard, a recommendation for a strengthening scenario is automatically created. The scenario depends on the market value of the current house and the cost of structural strengthening or demolition and new construction.Last change on 20th of December 2023, at 7:54 (CET) | Publication Standard 1.0- Publication category
