WW Benefit and Garnishment in Tilburg: How Do You Protect Your Income?
In Tilburg, a bailiff can levy garnishment on your WW benefit for debts, but parts of it are protected by the garnishment-free amount. This article explains how you can stop or limit enforcement, with practical steps, local Tilburg resources, and legal options under national legislation.
Calculating the Garnishment-Free Amount for Tilburg Residents
The garnishment-free amount is the minimum for living expenses. For a single person with a WW benefit in Tilburg, this is approximately 90% of the standard amount (e.g., €1,342 net in 2025, adjusted for regional costs such as rent in the municipality). The bailiff must respect this; check via the online calculator of the central government.

Provide income details, household composition, and Tilburg rental agreements.
