WW Benefit and Garnishment in Westland: How Do You Protect Your Income?
In Westland, with municipalities such as Naaldwijk, Monster and 's-Gravenzande, a bailiff can levy garnishment on your WW benefit in case of debts, but parts are protected by law. This article explains how to stop or limit execution according to the garnishment-free amount, with steps specific to Westland and legal options via local authorities.
Calculating the Garnishment-Free Amount for Westland Residents
The garnishment-free amount covers your minimum for living expenses, such as rent in Westland (average €900-€1.100 for a one-bedroom). For a single person with WW benefit, this is approximately 90% of the statutory amount (e.g. €1.342 net in 2025). The bailiff in the Den Haag-West region must respect this; check via the SVB calculation tool.
Objection to Garnishment in Westland
Is the garnishment too high? File an objection within 8 days with the enforcement judge of the Rechtbank Den Haag, Westland location. Provide income details, household composition and proof of Westland living expenses. The UWV WIA/WW office in Zoetermeer can provide a 'garnishment notice' for your file.
Engaging Debt Assistance in Westland
Contact the Westland municipality (Social Domain team in Naaldwijk, tel. 0174-482482) for WSNP application or debt assistance via SchuldHulpMaatschappij Westland. This temporarily stops executions. For WW recipients in greenhouse or glasshouse workers' families, relaxed poverty rules with priority apply.
