Combining WW Benefit with Part-Time Work in Rijswijk: Rules and Local Pitfalls

In Rijswijk, a vibrant municipality near The Hague with many local jobs in healthcare and retail at the In de Bogaard shopping centre, many unemployed individuals opt for part-time work during their WW period. This provides financial breathing room, but affects your benefit via the UWV office in Zoetermeer, which handles Rijswijk applications. The WW benefit is adjusted based on your income to prevent double benefits.

Key Rules for Unemployed Residents of Rijswijk

You may work part-time provided you comply with the job application obligation, such as searching for vacancies via local portals like rijswijkvacatures.nl or with Rijswijk employers. Report every new job immediately to the UWV via werk.nl or by telephone. Your benefit decreases by 70% of the new salary (after own risk deduction). Worked weeks extend your WW duration.

Calculation with Rijswijk Example

Example: daily wage €150, WW €100/day. With part-time salary of €70/day (e.g., at a Rijswijk supermarket), WW becomes €30/day (100 - 70% of 70). Note the partner test: partner income from the Haaglanden region may have an effect. Unemployed residents of Rijswijk sometimes benefit from municipal subsidies for retraining to local sectors.

Avoiding Pitfalls in Rijswijk

Skip undeclared work, such as informal jobs in Rijswijk neighbourhoods; this results in recovery and fines up to €5,000 plus UWV sanctions. Update changes within one week via the UWV portal. Participate in the municipality of Rijswijk's reintegration programmes to avoid sanctions. This way, you safely combine WW with work at local companies such as HagaZiekenhuis. Maximise income without risks and consult the UWV for personal advice, possibly with an appointment in Zoetermeer. (248 words)
