Wmo Subscription Fee in Rijswijk
The Wmo subscription fee represents the maximum own contribution for support under the Social Support Act (Wmo) for residents of Rijswijk. The Centre for Administrative Costs (CAK) collects this uniform amount, which serves as a 'subscription' for care services, regardless of intensity. For 2024, it is set at €19.40 per day, with an annual cap of €7,075.
What does the Wmo subscription fee mean for residents of Rijswijk?
In Rijswijk, the Wmo provides assistance with everyday challenges, such as cleaning support, day activities, home guidance, or home adaptations. Since 2023, you pay a standardized own contribution in subscription form: a fixed daily amount as long as you use the service, with an annual maximum.
This fee applies only to actual usage. No care? No costs. The Municipality of Rijswijk reports your care periods to the CAK, which handles the billing afterwards. This keeps everything clear and predictable for you as a resident.
Legal basis of the subscription fee
The own contribution is set out in Article 5.1 of the Wmo 2015, with a statutory maximum per general administrative order. The 2024 rates are specified in the Regulation on own contributions under the Wmo, Youth Act, Participation Act and Long-term Care Act (Government Gazette 2023, no. 1036359), approved by ministerial regulation of 28 December 2023.
For Wmo care in Rijswijk, the daily rate is €19.40. For low incomes, Article 5.2 Wmo 2015 provides options for remission. The CAK enforces this under the CAK Act.
How does the CAK calculate your contribution in Rijswijk?
The calculation works as follows:
- The Municipality of Rijswijk approves your Wmo support.
- They share the start and end dates of care with the CAK.
- You pay €19.40 per care day, up to a maximum of 365 days (€7,075 per year).
- When combined with Wlz or Youth Act care, a joint cap applies.
Example from Rijswijk: From 1 March 2024, you receive household help for 200 days. Bill: 200 × €19.40 = €3,880. Full year? Maximum €7,075.
