Reporting a change of circumstances on an unemployment benefit

To inform us of a change in your circumstances, complete the Change of circumstances form when on an unemployment benefit (‘Wijzigingsformulier WW’). You will need a DigiD account to do this.

Some examples of the types of changes you should report include the following:

finding a new job
working more or fewer hours
going on holiday (report this at least 1 day before your departure)
changing your personal information (for example, your telephone or bank account number)

If you are unsure about whether to report a change, have a look at our step-by-step guide (in Dutch). If this does not help, call us.

If you are living abroad and receiving an UWV unemployment benefit, use the Change of circumstances form for those living abroad. If you are planning to move abroad temporarily, call us for advice.
