Submitting a request to be removed from the Access to work register
If you have been added to the Access to work register (‘doelgroepregister’), you will usually remain in it until you reach the state pension age (‘AOW-leeftijd’). You can ask to be removed from the register if you no longer meet the required criteria.
How to submit a request to be removed from the register
To submit your request, complete the Request form for removal from the Access to work register (‘Aanvraag uitschrijving doelgroepregister’). You will need either a DigiD account or a valid European electronic ID (‘Europees erkend inlogmiddel’) to do this.
What happens next?
After you submit your request, we will review it to determine if you should remain in the register. You may not be removed in the following situations:
- You are receiving support from the local council (‘de gemeente’) or UWV.
- Your employer is receiving financial support for employing you.
- You have a job coach.
- You are receiving a benefit from UWV.
- You have received a recommendation for the Access to work register (‘WSW-indicatie’).
- Your income is below the minimum wage.
- You are unemployed.
You will receive a decision about your removal from the register within 8 weeks of us receiving your request.
If you have an employer
We will always contact your employer before removing you from the Access to work register. This is because your removal could affect their right to receive certain benefits. They therefore have the right to object to your removal.
We will also let your local council know that you have been removed from the register.
