Description topics

Disablement Insurance Act (WAO)
The number of benefits under the Disablement Insurance Act (WAO) not
terminated at the end of the period under review (current benefits).
Employee's who became sick on January the first of 2004 or later, can no
longer acquire a WAO benefit. Nothing will change for benefits already
paid under the WAO. As from January the first of 2006 there is a new
Disablement Insurance Act (WIA).
By economic activity
In the period 1998-2000 the categories 'public sector, education and
science' and 'other public sector' were included in the category 'other
public sector'. By ministerial decree the public and private sectors have
been divided into subsectors. Each subsector comprises one or more
activities. The Employee Insurance Agency (UWV) gives advice on the
classification of the subsectors. There exists a statutory obligation for
every employer to become a member of the subsector which covers his
activities.
