Costs in case of disability or illness
If you or your child has a disability or chronic (long-term) illness, your costs may be higher. You may then be able to get double child benefit, or an allowance from your insurance company. Also consider the collective health insurance of the municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo.
Double child support
You can apply for double child benefit from the Social Insurance Bank (SVB). To be entitled to this, a number of rules apply. For example, your child must be 3 years of age or older, but younger than 18. Your child must live at home. To determine whether your child indeed needs extra Health , the SVB will ask advice from the Centrum Indicatiestelling Health (CIZ). The CIZ will contact you if they have any questions. Sometimes the CIZ needs additional information from doctors or specialists. For more information, visit the websites of the SVB and the CIZ.
Insurance relief
Do you have high medical expenses due to an illness or disability? You may receive an allowance from your insurance company. Check with your insurance company.
Group Health Insurance
If you have a low income, you can participate in the collective health insurance of the municipality of Geldrop-Mierlo. Look at Minimaregelingen to read more about this.
