Becoming Ill During Unemployment Benefits in Delft: To Sickness Benefits and Back
In Delft, with its vibrant university and tech sector, you can become ill during your unemployment benefit (WW) and switch to Sickness Benefits (ZW). This article discusses the conditions, application via UWV Delft, benefit amount and local reintegration options, including collaboration with TU Delft career centres.
Conditions for ZW Transition in Delft
You must be unfit for work (able to work less than 65%) and report to UWV Werkbedrijf Delft (Phoenixstraat 46) within 2 working days. No employer anymore, as with many Delft startups? Then the ZW wage loss basis applies, aligned with regional wages.
Amount and Duration of ZW Benefit
The ZW benefit is 70% of your daily wage, maximum the WW daily wage. Duration: maximum 104 weeks. Reintegration proceeds via UWV Track 2, with options at Delft employers such as ASML or local healthcare institutions.
Application Process in Delft
Start the application via 'Mijn UWV' with a medical certificate from your GP in Delft or Reinier de Graaf Hospital. UWV Delft decides within 14 days. Report your work capacity weekly and consider career advice from the UWV office.
Back to WW or Further in Delft
Recovered? Reactivate your WW entitlement within 4 weeks at UWV Delft. Long-term ill? After 2 years possible WIA assessment. Note double claim rules to prevent overlap, especially with Delft temp agencies. (248 words)
