Municipality of Utrecht: applying for a personal budget (PGB)

To be eligible for a pgb (under the Youth Act or Wmo) there are a number of conditions. You can also discuss these conditions with the Buurtteam (neighborhood team).

• You or your child is entitled to individual provision (this is shown in your family or support plan).
• You (or your legal representative) can buy the necessary care yourself (you know how to do this).
• You can clearly explain why you need a pgb 
• You are responsible for directing caregivers so that they provide the right support. You can also assess whether the support is of good quality and whether the support is safe.

Here's how to apply for support:

• Wmo: With most requests for help you can go to the neighborhood team in your neighborhood. A member of the team will talk to you. Together you will discuss what help is needed and what steps you can take yourself.
• You can apply for support under the Youth Act through your family worker at the community team.

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