Payment of your benefit

Your benefit will be transferred at the end of the month. On this page you can see the payment dates. If you apply for an allowance from the Tax Authorities (for rent, care or childcare), you must enter the gross annual amount that you will receive in payment. These amounts can be found in the second table on this page.

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.

 

How much gross benefit will I receive?

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 2024 for the various social assistance standards can be seen below.
