Making changes to your employee’s voluntary income protection coverage

If you have taken out voluntary income protection coverage (‘vrijwillige verzekeringen’) for your employee, you must report any changes to us that could affect this coverage. This primarily concerns adjustments to your employee’s policy.

How to report changes

To make adjustments to your employee’s policy, complete the Voluntary income protection coverage changes form (‘Wijzigen verzekering van UWV’).

What types of changes should you report?

You need to report the following types of changes to us:

  • if your employee’s income changes and you want to adjust the amount they are covered for
  • if your employee wants to cancel or change an authorisation allowing someone else to manage their coverage
  • if your employee decides to cancel their policy
  • if your employee starts working for a new employer
  • if your employee becomes ill, pregnant or unemployed

Changing the amount your employee is covered for

You must inform us by 1 October if you want to increase the amount your employee is covered for in the following year. If your request is approved, the updated coverage will take effect on 1 January of the next year.

If your employee’s income will be increasing permanently, however, you can adjust their coverage at any time instead of only before 1 October. You will be required to provide a copy of your employee’s payslip and their employment contract as proof that their new income level is permanent. Keep in mind there is a maximum limit to how much coverage you can take out for your employee.

Cancelling your employee’s policy

You can cancel your employee’s policy at any time by using the same form that you would to report any changes to us. We will then cancel your policy as soon as we receive your form. Make sure you cancel the policy on time. This is important as any premiums paid will not be refunded.
