Municipality of Roosendaal: applying for a personal budget (pgb)
You can use a persoonsgebonden budget – Pgb (personal budget) to arrange care, help or support.
Please note: you can only apply for a Pgb if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
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 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 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 have a Pgb plan. This means that you already have an idea of how you will arrange care or assistance and have put this into writing. The plan also explains why the Pgb is a better solution than care in kind.
- You are able to manage the budget yourself, possibly with help from your surroundings.
- The care or assistance you want to use is of good quality.
