Becoming Ill During Unemployment Benefits in Rijswijk: To Sickness Benefits and Back
In Rijswijk, ZH, the same applies to residents with unemployment benefits (WW) from UWV The Hague: in case of illness, you switch to the Sickness Benefits Act (Ziektewet, ZW). This article discusses conditions, procedure via the UWV office in the region, benefit amount and local reintegration options, such as at Werkse! in Rijswijk.
Conditions for ZW Transition in Rijswijk
You are unfit for work (able to work less than 65%) and report this within 2 working days to UWV The Hague, reachable for Rijswijk residents via the website or by telephone. No employer? Then wage loss under ZW applies, ideal for flex workers from Rijswijk South or the centre.
Amount and Duration of ZW Benefit
ZW benefit is 70% of your daily wage, maximum equal to the WW daily wage. Duration: maximum 104 weeks. Reintegration starts via UWV Track 2, with options at Rijswijk employers or regional partners such as the Werkplein in Delft for nearby support.
Application Process for Rijswijk Residents
Log in to 'Mijn UWV' and submit the claim with a medical certificate from your GP in Rijswijk (e.g. via Zorggroep Rijswijk). UWV assesses within 14 days. Report your work capacity weekly; Rijswijk job seekers can go to the local UWV service point in Zoetermeer.
Back to WW from Rijswijk
Recovered? Reactivate your WW entitlement within 4 weeks via Mijn UWV. In case of long-term illness, possibly WIA after 2 years. Note double claim rules to prevent overlap. Local tip: check Rijswijk reintegration subsidies via the municipal website. (248 words)
