What about the cost-sharing standard… if your son (25) comes back to live at home after his studies?

Johan has a social security benefit and has been living at the same address in Tilburg for a long time. His son Jan (25) studies in Utrecht and lives in rooms. Jan will graduate in a few months and he will have to leave his room in Utrecht.

Jan finds a job in Brabant and he wants to live nearby. Unfortunately, he cannot find a place to live because of the housing shortage. Jan decides to live with his father.

Does this affect Johan's benefit?

Johan informs his contact person that his son Jan is coming to live with him. Jan is younger than 27, so it has no consequences for Johan's benefit. The cost-sharing standard only applies to him when Jan turns 27.
