PGB youth & WMO
You can submit a request for help for yourself or your child to the area team. The area team will determine whether the request for help can be answered immediately or whether an interview is necessary. If necessary, this request for help may lead to an application for assistance under the Youth Act or the Social Support Act.
If during the interview it appears that you qualify for help under the Youth Act or Wmo, the form of Health or support will be considered. The form can be 'Health in Natura' (ZIN) or 'personal budget' (PGB). With ZIN, the municipality makes arrangements with care organizations to take care of you. With a PGB you have to do this yourself, which may involve risks. You cannot apply for a PGB for all types of help.
In order to qualify for a PGB you must be PGB-capable. With the infographic Checken 10 punten pgb-vaardigheid (overheid.nl), you can check if you are PGB competent.
You must meet a number of Requirements and obligations:
- Enter into a care agreement (contract) with your caregiver and direct the caregiver,
- Keeping records. You may do this with help from others, but you may not pay someone from the PGB to do so. Also, your care provider or assistance organization that provides you with help may not also manage your PGB.
- Creating a PGB plan. A PGB plan is a document in which you write how you intend to arrange the help. You submit this plan to the area team along with the care agreements you plan to enter into. There are forms available for both the PGB plan and the agreements that you should use. The municipality will grant you a PGB when you meet the Requirements . This means that you explain why in your situation ZIN from the municipality is not appropriate.
- Ensuring that the services, aids and adaptations, which you purchase with the PGB, are of good quality and safe and. Through the PGB plan, you must show that this is the case.
