Wijziging van de WAO en de WAZ om uitkeringsgerechtigden te stimuleren arbeid te gaan verrichten

This Dutch bill amends the WAO (Disability Insurance Act) and the WAZ (Self-Employed Persons Disability Act), the two main laws governing income support for people who cannot work due to illness or disability. Its stated aim is to encourage people receiving these benefits to take up paid work. The title indicates the focus is on incentives for benefit recipients rather than on eligibility for benefits. This summary is based on metadata only, not the full legislative text, so the specific measures are not described here. The changes would mainly affect people receiving WAO or WAZ benefits, including employees and self-employed people who are partly or fully incapacitated for work. Employers and the public employment and social security agencies that administer these benefits may also be affected by any new rules on work reintegration.
