In Rijswijk, the income limit at assistance level varies significantly depending on family composition, in accordance with the Participation Act. For a single person, this is €1,140.71 gross per month in 2024, while a couple without children receives €1,711.07. With children in Rijswijk, a supplement applies: €308.34 for the first child and €218.94 for each subsequent child. These amounts are indexed annually based on the price index and follow the national standards used by the Municipality of Rijswijk.
The total household income is taken into account, including that of a partner. Exceptions apply to alimony and student financing, which are partially disregarded. The Municipality of Rijswijk verifies this via the Basic Register of Income and local asset data from the Rijswijk social domain. If exceeded, a reduction percentage applies: 100% deduction up to 150% of the norm, thereafter 50%.
Note in Rijswijk: rent allowance and healthcare allowance are considered fictitious income, which effectively lowers the limit. For single parents with young children, the municipality sometimes offers an adjusted arrangement via the social team. Specifically for Rijswijk tenants in social housing, additional advice can be obtained at the WMO counter. Always use the SVB calculation tool for a simulation, but check at the Rijswijk counter for local nuances. Incorrect declaration leads to recovery and fines up to €5,280. Full transparency is crucial when applying to the Municipality of Rijswijk.
