Personal participation budget pensioners
What is it?
The personal participation budget for pensioners is intended for persons who have reached retirement age. As a result, they are no longer eligible for the individual income supplement. The personal participation budget is intended to enable them to participate in society even after reaching retirement age.
What to do.
You must meet the following Requirements :
- You have reached the state pension age; and
- You have had an income in the past 12 months that on average does not exceed 130% of the applicable social assistance standard for a pensioner. You can find the social assistance standards on the Rijksoverheid website; and
- Your assets do not exceed the asset limit. You can find the amounts on the Rijksoverheid website; and
- You did not receive an individual income supplement or social action bonus in the last 12 months.
The participation budget is per year:
- €250 for a single person;
- €400 for single parents and married couples together.
If you are married and only one of you both meets the Requirements, you will receive the amount for a single person.
