Requesting an evaluation of a sickness benefit entitlement
If you are a self-insured employer (‘eigenrisicodrager’) and would like to know whether your employee or former employee is entitled to a sickness benefit (‘Ziektewet-uitkering’), you can request an evaluation from us for a fee.
To submit a request, complete the Evaluation form for entitlement to a sickness benefitt (‘Aanvraag beoordeling recht 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 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 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 this.
