Goal and impact

Early detection of (debt) problems among residents. If the problems are spotted early, a small intervention/advice can be enough

Considerations

Notifications from creditors are automatically forwarded to the Municipality. The alternative would be for creditors to forward the notification manually, which ultimately has the same outcome

Human intervention

In order to match RIS matching data with the Municipality's data, a human operation should be performed. This match should be started manually

Risk management

The registration and information system called 'RIS Matching' is provided by the company Inforing, a company that supplies this system to 200 municipalities. They regularly conduct so-called 'pen and hack tests' to check that the system cannot be hacked by third parties. They also ensure that personal data is securely managed and not sold to third parties. Security also lies with Inforing. The security meets the BIO standard. Citizens can indicate at any time that they do not want to be listed in the system

Legal basis

Municipal Debt Relief Act

Operations

Data

Data RIS Matching, Data Municipality department WMO

Technical design

Creditors report payment delays, after which the Municipality receives a signal of this and can take it up

These notifications can be made thanks to the Debt Assistance Act.

  • 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.

  • When someone receives social assistance benefits, the municipality must check for new income that has not been reported. This income must be offset against the benefit. Instead of always investigating this itself, the municipality receives a single notification about this from the IB at the start of this income.

  • The aim of the information service is to help the municipality understand which citizens may be entitled to special assistance, due to incomplete state pension benefits. The algorithm works like a postman, receiving a list of citizens from the SVB, splitting it up and delivering it. So that each municipality receives a list of its own citizens.
