Instructions on the provision of information by Ukrainians to municipalities

Municipalities (gemeenten) are starting to collect additional information about the life situation, family, work and income of displaced persons from Ukraine. The information obtained will, in particular, make it possible to assess whether displaced persons are entitled to the leefgeld benefit. There are two options for this collection:

1. personal meeting with a municipal employee for an interview;
2. filling out an electronic or paper form.

More about it in video from Svetlana Koshek.

Our memos will help you prepare the necessary documents and information.

Reminder 1. Meeting with a municipal officer to provide information

1. If you receive a letter in paper form or by e-mail with the subject “An invitation to an interview" (Uitnodiging voor een gesprek - leefgeld)don't ignore it!
2. In the text of the letter you will find the following information:

• meeting point with the municipality officer (address);
• date;
• the time.

     3. Take with you to the meeting those documents that ticked. In the list of documents:

• the letter itself as proof that you really have an appointment;
• your identity card (passport, consular certificate or ID-card);
• employment contract - arbeidsovereenkomst (or other document confirming the presence of a paid job), if you are working;
• a lease agreement or a sale and purchase agreement if you rent or own a home;
• bank statements (bankafschriften);
• confirmation of registration in BRP (Basisregistratie Personen), if you have checked out in one place, but have not yet registered in another.

      4. If you do not come to the meeting, you will be sent an invitation again. The consequence of ignoring the repeated invitation is − suspension leefgeld payments.
