Applying for support by your municipality for reintegration into the labour market
Have you been out of work for a long time? Do you want to start working again? Your municipality can support you for your return to work. This is known as reintegration (re-integratie).
If you receive benefits from your municipality, this municipality will help you find a job. This support is provided in the form of training, work or guidance (in Dutch).
You cannot refuse the municipality’s support. If you do, the municipality may lower your benefits.
This is how it works for you
Here is some information from your municipality.
