For people with job problems due to disabilites
The target group register includes data of people who have an occupational disability. Those people often have difficulties finding or keeping a job due to physical, psychological or mental disabilities.
You are automatically included in the target group register if you receive or have received the old Wajong benefit or Wajong 2010, for example, and you are able to work. Check the UWV website, in which other situations you will be included in the target group register (in Dutch).
