Conditions for an UWV top-up benefit
In order to receive an UWV top-up benefit, you must meet certain conditions. For example, your income must be below the guaranteed minimum income (in Dutch) that applies to you. The guaranteed minimum income is the minimum amount you need to live off of. The amount that applies to you depends on your age and living situation, such as if you live together with a partner.
You can find all conditions for the top-up benefit on UWV’s website.
