Write-off Rules for Rent Allowance Debts in Tilburg

In Tilburg, not every rent allowance repayment needs to be paid in full, especially if you are in financial distress. The SVB applies write-off rules for residents of Tilburg with low incomes and limited assets. Apply for remission if your income is below the established threshold, for example for debts up to €700 per person. Higher amounts are assessed based on your repayment capacity pursuant to the Participation Act. For Tilburg households with partners, a joint assessment applies. Provide a detailed overview of income, expenses, assets and any debts to the municipality or SVB. Important: actively cooperate with debt assistance via the Tilburg Wmo desk or SchuldHulpMaatschappij Tilburg. Upon approval, the SVB remits the debt or reduces it. Alternative: set-off against benefits such as AOW. In Tilburg, hardship clauses provide extra protection for vulnerable groups, such as during the recent energy crisis. Seek free advice at the Juridisch Loket Tilburg or the municipal counter at Stadhuisplein. Approximately 30% of requests in the region are granted, with local support for those on minimum income via Tilburg's minimum policy. The law acts as a safety net against poverty due to administrative errors.
