Abonnementstarief

The Abonnementstarief is the Dutch name for a fixed monthly own contribution (eigen bijdrage) that residents pay for tailor-made Wmo support, instead of paying according to the amount or type of support they receive. Introduced in 2019, it makes the cost for users predictable and lowers the financial threshold for seeking support.
