People who receive help under the Social Support Act (Wmo) must pay a contribution for this from 2025, which depends on their income. A large majority of 71 percent agrees with the statement of the day.
For some people, this will mean that they will spend more money on – for example – household help.
People who receive help under the Social Support Act (Wmo) must pay a contribution for this from 2025, which depends on their income. This means that some people will spend more money on – for example – household help. People currently pay a fixed amount per month for that help, but that contribution depends on their income.
Being dependent is bad enough
“People who need help through the WMO would probably prefer to do the household themselves,” says this reader who disagrees with the statement. “It is bad enough that you are dependent on others or the WMO. It wouldn’t be fair if you had to pay more because you can’t do it yourself.”
Readers who sometimes agree with the statement find it ‘too crazy for words that people with a high income abuse the WMO. We never understood this.”
“You don’t choose to be sick”, says this participant who disagrees with the statement. Readers who sometimes agree with the statement say: ,,It seems to me only fair. Otherwise, anyone can abuse the WMO for cheap help. I do think there should be a ceiling, a maximum contribution per month.”
‘If only I could still do the housework myself’
This participant again disagrees with the statement of the day. ,, Already had to hand in 30 percent wages due to illness, a lot of uncertainty about what will happen to wages due to WIA, healthcare costs have become much higher, just like the basic costs of living. So much has to be given up already. This arrangement would reduce the surrendered wages even further. If I could, I would just do the housework myself. I wish I could still do that.”
