Requesting an evaluation of the sickness benefit amount
If you are a self-insured employer (‘eigenrisicodrager’) and would like to know how much sickness benefit (‘Ziektewet-uitkering’) you have to pay your employee or former employee, you can request an evaluation from us for a fee.
How to submit a request
To submit a request, complete the Evaluation form for determining a sickness benefit amount (‘Aanvraag beoordeling hoogte 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.
What will you need when completing the form?
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
Cost
The current cost of this service is 27 euros.
Decision
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.
