Payment of your benefit

Payment dates in 2025

There may be reasons that your benefit is paid later. For example, if you have income and still need to submit data. We can only pay the benefit when all your details have been received.

In addition to the payment of your social assistance benefit, 5% holiday allowance is reserved for you every month. The holiday allowance is paid once a year and is in your account before 31 May.

Do you have debts or has your benefit been seized?

Then it is possible that you will receive no or a lower amount of holiday allowance. If a garnishee or creditor garnishes your benefit, they will withhold (part of) your holiday allowance each month. This will (partly) pay off your debts. This means that no or less holiday allowance will be reserved and paid out for you.

The social assistance benefit is a net benefit. To apply for benefits at the tax authorities, you must enter the gross annual amount. Do you have any other income besides your social assistance benefit? Then you must deduct this income from your gross benefit. The final gross annual amount of your benefit is stated on your annual statement. You will receive the annual statement of the previous year in February.

The provisional gross annual benefits for 2025 for the various assistance standards can be seen below.
