Healthcare Allowance: Reporting Changes and Risks

Changes to your healthcare allowance must be reported in case of income or address changes, similar to housing allowance. Report changes within one month via toeslagen.nl to prevent reclaims. Risks: if reported too late, you must repay any excess amount received, often with interest. Conditions: single individuals with an income up to €39,000 (2024), with a higher threshold for partners. Moving? Check if your new address still qualifies. Changes in partnership status (cohabitation) reduce the allowance immediately. Tips: use the change verification tool and keep proof of notification. In case of reclaims, the same rules apply as for housing allowance: objection, repayment, or remission. Prevent issues by checking your annual trial calculation. This protects your healthcare budget and avoids unexpected bills.
