Requesting an evaluation of the duration of a sickness benefit

If you are a self-insured employer (‘eigenrisicodrager’) and would like to know how long you must continue paying your employee or former employee a sickness benefit (‘Ziektewet-uitkering’), you can request an evaluation from us for a fee.

To submit a request, complete the Evaluation form for the duration of a sickness benefit (‘Beoordeling duur Ziektewet-uitkering’) and email it to info.erzw@uwv.nl. Alternatively, if you are a Digipoort user, you can submit a request through your own HR administration system, which is directly linked to our system.

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

your payroll tax number (‘loonheffingennummer’)
your self-insured contributions code (‘sector en risicopremiegroep’)
your employee’s name, citizen service number (‘BSN’) and date of birth

The current cost of this service is 12 euros.

You can expect to receive the outcome of our evaluation within 4 weeks of submitting your request. You will also receive a letter from us with information on how to pay for the evaluation.
