Declare us in default
The Allowance Restoration Organisation (UHT) makes decisions about the restoration of your childcare benefit. In doing so, we must adhere to statutory time limits. Sometimes our decision is late. For example, if we fail to process your request for reassessment in time. You can then declare us in ‘default’. This means that you demand that we make a decision within 2 weeks.
You can declare the UHT in default in a number of situations:
- We are late in deciding on your request for an integrated assessment or Catshuis scheme.
- We are late in deciding on your objection.
- We are late in deciding on your request under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Fraud Detection Scheme (FSV).
- We are late in deciding on your request under the Government Information (Public Access) Act (WOB)
This is how you declare us in default
You can use the form below to declare us in default. You fill in all the information we need. Then send the printed document to us.
Decision on integrated assessment not yet received
Have you requested a reassessment of your childcare benefit situation? Then you should receive an answer from us within 6 months after your application. This is called a final decision. This period may be extended once by 6 months.
Are we late in deciding on your request? Did you receive a letter saying that we need more time than the 2 x 6 months to reassess your situation, and that we will therefore not meet the promised deadline? Then you can declare us in ‘default’.
This means that you demand that we assess your situation more quickly. Unfortunately, this does not mean that you will be helped sooner. We assess everyone’s case in the order in which they applied. And we are already working as fast as we can.
Our planning shows when you will be helped.
Decision on objection not yet received
We must decide on your objection in time. This is within 18 weeks of the date of the decision to which you objected. This period may be extended once by 6 weeks. If you wait longer for our decision, you can declare us in default.
Decision on request under the GDPR or FSV not yet received
We must make a timely decision on your access request under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Fraud Detection Scheme (FSV). The deadline for an access request under the GDPR or FSV is one month. This period may be extended by two months. Have you been waiting longer for our decision? And have we not extended the deadline for a decision? If so, you can declare us in default.
Decision on WOB request not yet received
We must make a timely decision on your WOB request (request under the Government Information (Public Access) Act). The deadline for a WOB access request is one month. This period may be extended by one further month. Have you been waiting longer for our decision? And have we not extended the deadline for a decision? If so, you can declare us in default.
How do we handle your notice of default?
After you have declared us in default, we have to make a decision within 2 weeks. Have we not decided within 2 weeks? Information about situations in which we have to pay you a penalty can be found here (Dutch).
We will send you a letter within 10 weeks explaining how we will handle your notice of default. If it turns out that you are entitled to a penalty payment, we will also mention this in the letter. You do not have to ask us for a penalty payment separately.
