The municipality is not allowed to ask them. That is in conflict with the privacy rules. It could be that these questions are relevant in an incidental, individual case. In that case, the municipality must substantiate that.\n \nI advise you to involve the client council on the one hand and to seek further advice from a specialized social security law attorney in case of problems on the other. They are usually affiliated with the Specialization Association of Social Security Law Attorneys (SSZ).\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55004433678685,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-62649-bij-de-gemeente-dongeradeel-moeten-mensen-met-een-bijstandsuitkering-verplicht-een-vragenlijst-invul","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
