To find out if your employee or former employee is entitled to a sickness benefit, submit a request via Digipoort. If you prefer, you can complete the Evaluation for a sickness benefit entitlement form (‘Aanvraag beoordeling recht Ziektewet-uitkering’) and email it to info.erzw@uwv.nl.

You will need to provide the date on which your employee or former employee first became ill. Please also have the following details close at hand:

• your payroll tax number (‘loonheffingennummer’)
• your self-insured contributions code (‘sector en risicopremiegroep’)
• your employee or former employee’s name, citizen service number (‘BSN’) and date of birth
• any relevant documents that will help us evaluate your request

The current cost of this service is 25 euros.

You can expect our evaluation within 4 weeks of receiving your application. You will also receive a letter from us with information on how to pay for it.
