PGB Scheme for Intensive Care after CIZ Approval in Rijswijk

Residents of Rijswijk with a positive CIZ advice for Intensive Care (IZ) can opt for a Personal Budget (PGB) under the Social Support Act (Wmo) or Long-Term Care Act (Wlz) in the municipality of Rijswijk. The PGB in Rijswijk amounts to approximately €1,300 net per month for self-arranged care, such as babysitting, therapy or assistive devices via local providers. Contact the Wmo desk of the municipality of Rijswijk to draw up a care plan, including a budget holder agreement and drawing right at the SVB. Advantages in Rijswijk: flexibility in care choice, such as collaboration with regional care providers in the Haaglanden region; disadvantages: administrative burdens and strict control on expenditure by the municipality. Rejection possible if the plan is insufficiently elaborated. Annual accountability is mandatory, with receipts and invoices. In case of misuse, repayment will be claimed by the municipality of Rijswijk. Article 41 of the Wmo regulates the PGB as an alternative to care in kind. For disputes regarding PGB in Rijswijk, consult the legal aid office in The Hague or a specialised advisor.
