What is the WGA Re-integration Obligation in Delft?

The **WGA re-integration obligation** is an obligation for residents of Delft and surrounding areas who receive a WGA benefit to actively work on restoring their earning capacity. This obligation is laid down in the Work and Income according to Labour Capacity Act (Wet Werk en Inkomen naar Arbeidsvermogen, WWIA) and helps you return to work, even if you are not fully recovered. In Delft, your trajectory is supervised by the UWV Work Company The Hague (The Hague district).

  • Article 46 WWIA: UWV draws up a re-integration plan tailored to the Delft labour market.
