Municipality of Laarbeek: applying for a personal budget (pgb)
If you receive support from the Social Support Act, you can choose from two forms: care in kind (ZIN) or personal budget (PGB).
ZIN: you will receive support from the care provider or supplier with whom the municipality has a contract.
PGB: you receive support from a provider that you choose yourself. You buy in there. You conclude a contract yourself and pay this care provider. With a PGB, you also bear the administrative burden yourself.
Do you have questions about this? Then call the Laarbeek Social Team on 0492 469 700.
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.
