    Requesting the repayment of a sickness benefit overpayment

    If you are a self-insured employer (‘eigenrisicodrager’) and you have paid your employee or former employee too much sickness benefit (‘Ziektewet-uitkering’), you can ask us to have your employee repay the excess amount.

    How to request the repayment

    To submit a repayment request, complete the Repayment request form for a sickness benefit overpayment (‘Verzoek terugbetaling te veel betaalde Ziektewet-uitkering’) and email it to info.erzw@uwv.nl. Alternatively, if you are a Digipoort user, you can arrange this 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 details about your employee or former employee’s sickness benefit. 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

    Decision

    You can expect to get a decision on your request within 4 weeks of us receiving your form or notification message. We may contact you for further information.
