Municipality of Horst aan de Maas: 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.

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.

You can apply for a PGB by contacting the municipality: ask if we call you back.

Your municipality will inform you within 8 weeks of their decision.
