Municipality of Heerde: applying for a personal budget (pgb)

Please note: you can only apply for a PGB if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.

You can use a persoonsgebonden budget – PGB (personal budget) to buy care, help or support. 

There are 2 types of personal budget:

PGB via the Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning – WMO (Social Support Act)

Do you receive Wmo support from your municipality? Do you want to arrange this help yourself? Then you can apply for a PGB from your municipality.

PGB through the Jeugdwet (Youth Act)

If your child receives support under the Jeugdwet, you can use a personal budget to arrange that help yourself as well. You can apply for it through your municipality’s jeugdhelp (youth assistance) service.

To be eligible for a PGB, you must meet a number of requirements:

  • You fill in a pgb plan (Wmo or Youth - in Dutch).
  • You must indicate the reasons why you want to receive the care in pgb.
  • You must indicate who manages the PGB for you if you do not do so yourself.
  • You must be able to show afterwards what you spent the money on.
  • You must draw up a care agreement with the care provider who gives you guidance.
  • You must arrange this agreement and the claims via the SVB (Sociale verzekeringsbank).
