Municipality of Dronten: applying for a personal budget (pgb)
Everyone needs help or support at some point. You can often turn to family, friends, or neighbors for help. But sometimes professional support is necessary. You can apply for such support through your municipality. The law we use for this is the Social Support Act (Wmo). The goal of the Wmo is to ensure that everyone can continue to participate in society.
Are you unsure whether your municipality can help you with your question? The Dutch government has the website regelhulp.nl to help you find care and support.
To be eligible for a PGB, you must meet a number of requirements:
- You must draw up a PGB plan, in which you must specify what help you need.
- The care providers that you select must meet quality requirements.
- You must conclude an agreement with the care providers yourself.
- You must be able to manage your PGB yourself. For example, you must conclude a contract with the care providers yourself. You must also direct them and keep records. You can also ask a PGB representative to do this for you.
Payment
You do not receive the money from your PGB yourself. The municipality pays your personal budget to the Sociale Verzekeringsbank – SVB (social insurance bank). You send your care providers’ invoices to the SVB. The SVB will then pay them. You must keep the invoices for your records.
