Receiving a UWV top-up benefit
Are you receiving a benefit from the UWV and is your income below the national minimum wage? You may be eligible for a top-up. The national minimum wage is the minimum amount you need to live on. You may also be entitled to a top-up if you are not in receipt of a benefit from the UWV, for example if you are ill and your employer pays you less than the applicable national minimum wage.
