Living together with a WIA benefit: What to know


Questioner

Can I even live with someone on a WIA benefit? Or will I lose my independence and therefore my benefits? I understand that rent allowance/reduction of municipal tax (or waiver) is a valid option, but I don't want to lose my benefits.

Questioner

You can cohabit while receiving a WIA benefit, but your benefits will only be reduced if you have or are a partner receiving benefits. In that case, your joint income is taken into account. In practice, you won't lose your benefits, but they will be reduced.

Questioner

With a WIA benefit, you are not allowed to cohabit. This has no consequences for (the amount of) your benefit. However, it does affect allowances and other benefits.
