WW Benefit and Garnishment in Delft: How to Protect Your Income?
In Delft, a bailiff can levy garnishment on your WW benefit for debts, but parts are protected by the garnishment-free amount. This article provides practical steps for Delft residents to stop or limit execution, including local debt assistance via the Municipality of Delft and legal options under national law.
Calculating the Garnishment-Free Amount for Delft Residents
The garnishment-free amount guarantees your minimum for living expenses. For a single person with WW benefit in Delft, this is approximately 90% of the standard amount, for example €1,342 net in 2025 (based on national guidelines). Bailiffs in the region must respect this; check via the online calculator of the Central Government.
Filing an Objection Against Garnishment in Delft
Is the garnishment too high? File an objection within 8 days with the enforcement judge of the District Court of The Hague (for Delft). Provide income proofs from UWV and household composition. Request a 'garnishment notice' from the UWV and approach the Delft legal counter for free advice.
Engaging Debt Assistance in Delft
The Municipality of Delft offers debt assistance via the Social Team. Apply for WSNP or start a local debt restructuring process, which temporarily stops executions. For WW recipients with poverty, relaxed rules apply; make an appointment at the town hall on Burg. Reijerscheweg for personal guidance.
Prevention and Delft Tips
Report changes directly to UWV to prevent garnishee attachment. Open a bank garnishment-free account at local banks such as Rabobank Delft. In emergencies: request an advance from UWV or engage the Delft Food Bank for extra support. (248 words)
