Mobility Bonus: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how the Mobility Bonus provides tax reductions to employers who hire individuals from specific groups, making it easier for you to find work.
The Mobility Bonus is a financial incentive designed to encourage businesses to hire people from specific backgrounds, such as those who are disabled or have been unemployed for a long time. By reducing the tax burden for the employer, this scheme aims to make hiring you a more attractive option for companies.
Who it's for
This scheme is intended for employers who choose to hire individuals from specific categories, including people with disabilities or those who have been long-term unemployed.
What you get
While the money goes to the employer, the benefit for you is increased employability. The employer receives a tax reduction, which can serve as a strong incentive for them to offer you a position.
What it costs you
To make use of this, you must take the step of obtaining a "doelgroepverklaring" (a group declaration) from the UWV. This official document serves as the necessary proof of your eligibility.
The catch to know
The benefit is not applied automatically. You must actively request and obtain your certificate to show to potential employers during your job search.
How to apply
- Apply for a "doelgroepverklaring" through the UWV.
- Once received, keep this document ready to present to hiring managers.
- Mention your eligibility for the bonus during job interviews to highlight the benefit to the employer.
