Fraud with WIA Benefit in Delft: Detection and Sanctions

In Delft, a vibrant student city with many technical companies such as at TU Delft, WIA fraud (Wet Werk en Inkomen naar Arbeidsvermogen) is a serious issue. This includes deliberately providing incorrect information about work incapacity. The UWV in the Den Haag region, which serves Delft, investigates this pursuant to article 42 UWV Act. Consequences include recovery, high fines and withdrawal of the benefit, which weighs extra heavily in a city with high rental prices.

Examples of WIA Fraud in Delft

Think of concealing side jobs at local startups, exaggerating medical complaints while playing sports at HSV Hoky Delft, or not reporting secondary income from freelance work. The UWV deploys observations at events on the Markt, checks employer statements from companies in the Technopolis and conducts medical examinations in collaboration with regional physicians.

Procedure and Rights in the Delft Region

After detection, you receive an intention decision with an objection period of 4 weeks. File an objection at the UWV office in Zoetermeer, which handles Delft cases, followed by appeal to the Rechtbank Den Haag. In case of intent, criminal prosecution may follow via the Public Prosecution Service in Den Haag.

Sanctions for WIA Fraud

  • Full recovery with statutory interest
  • Fine up to 100% of the fraud amount, often higher in fraud-sensitive regions
  • Temporary suspension or definitive termination of the benefit

WIA fraud undermines the social security system, especially in Delft where many young benefit recipients live. Always report honestly to preserve your rights. In case of suspicion: immediately engage a lawyer via the Juridisch Loket in Delft for free advice.
