Wijziging van de Wet op de zorgtoeslag, in verband met de introductie van een vermogenstoets
This Dutch bill amends the Healthcare Allowance Act (Wet op de zorgtoeslag), the state benefit that helps people pay their mandatory health insurance premiums. The change would introduce a wealth test, meaning a person's assets, not only their income, would be taken into account when deciding whether they qualify for the allowance and how much they receive. The bill is before the Tweede Kamer, the lower house of the Dutch parliament. This summary is based only on the title and metadata, not the full text. The bill would mainly affect people who receive or may apply for the healthcare allowance, particularly lower-income households with savings or other assets. The exact thresholds, exemptions, and transition rules are not shown in the metadata and would need to be checked in the full bill.
