Planning
The implementation of the hzk scheme requires a careful approach. We are currently preparing the implementation of the scheme.
Wet hersteloperatie toeslagen submitted
The bill for Wet hersteloperatie toeslagen (the Remedial Procedure on Allowances Act) was submitted by State Secretary Aukje de Vries on 24 June 2022. This act makes it possible to pay compensation to those affected by the rent allowance, care allowance and child-related budget.
Wet hersteloperatie toeslagen approved
The bill for Wet hersteloperatie toeslagen has been approved by the Tweede Kamer and Eerste Kamer (the Dutch House of Representatives and Senate respectively). The act came into effect on 5 November 2022.
The implementation test for the scheme has been completed
Uitvoeringsorganisatie Herstel Toeslagen (UHT) (the Implementing Agency for Remedial Action in connection with Allowances) has checked whether the scheme is feasible and whether it can be seen who has been disadvantaged. It was also asked whether it was possible to calculate how much money people should receive back.
Implementation
From March 2025 onwards, people who have sent a letter to UHT about the HZK scheme can expect a reply. They will be sent a letter about this. We will do this in the coming months.
We are also making final preparations to send letters to people who we know will be receiving the HZK scheme. As soon as we know when UHT will start sending these letters, we will announce it on this website.
