Municipality of Westland: applying for support by your municipality for reintegration into the labour market
Please note: You can only apply for reintegration assistance if you live in the Netherlands and are registered with a municipality.
Do you receive social assistance benefits and are you able to work? Then the municipality can help you find paid employment again. In some situations, the municipality can also assist you if you have no income of your own.
Assistance for individuals receiving benefits
If you receive social assistance benefits, please contact werk.nl from the UWV.
Assistance for individuals without benefits
If you do not receive social assistance benefits, you may be eligible for support from Patijnenburg under certain conditions. To do this, fill out the application form (pdf, 62 KB).
