Wmo Subscription Fee in Westland

Wmo Subscription Fee in Westland

The Wmo subscription fee is the maximum own contribution for support under the Social Support Act (Wmo) in Westland. The Centre for Administrative Costs (CAK) collects this standard amount, which acts as a 'subscription' for care and assistance, regardless of intensity. For 2024, it is set at €19.40 per day, with an annual cap of €7,075.

What does the Wmo subscription fee mean for residents of Westland?

The Wmo provides assistance to Westlanders who need support in daily life, such as cleaning assistance, day activities, guidance, or home adaptations. Since 2023, the own contribution has been converted into a standard daily rate. As long as you use a Wmo service from the Municipality of Westland, you pay this fixed amount up to the annual maximum.

This fee applies only to actual use of care. No care? No costs. The Municipality of Westland reports your care periods to the CAK, which handles the billing. This keeps everything clear and predictable for you as a resident.

Legal basis of the subscription fee

The own contribution is set out in Article 5.1 of the Wmo 2015, with a maximum established by Order in Council. The 2024 rates are specified in the Regulation on own contributions under the Wmo, Youth Act, Participation Act and Long-Term Care Act (Government Gazette 2023, no. 1036359), approved by ministerial regulation of 28 December 2023. Remission for low-income individuals is governed by Article 5.2 Wmo 2015, and collection is regulated by the CAK Act.

How does the CAK calculate your subscription fee?

The calculation works as follows:

1. The Municipality of Westland approves your Wmo assistance.
2. They share the start and end dates of care use with the CAK.
3. You pay €19.40 per day of care, up to a maximum of 365 days (€7,075 per year).
4. When combined with Wlz or Youth Act, a joint cap applies.

Westland practice example: A resident from 's-Gravenzande starts household help on 1 April 2024 for 150 days. Bill: 150 x €19.40 = €2,910. Full year of care? Maximum €7,075.
