Zorgtoeslag (Healthcare Allowance)
We check whether you may be eligible for healthcare allowance and apply for you.
Zorgtoeslag is a monthly contribution from the Dutch government towards the cost of your Dutch health insurance. It is paid out by the Belastingdienst/Toeslagen.
Whether you may be eligible depends on factors such as your income, your age, your assets, your residence status and having Dutch health insurance. The amount is different for every person and is set each year by the government.
We check your situation, apply for you where possible, and explain the letters you receive. If your income or personal situation changes during the year, this must be reported — otherwise you may have to pay money back later.
What this service includes
- A check of whether you may be eligible, based on your own situation
- The application through Mijn Toeslagen, with your DigiD
- Help with earlier years, where the legal deadline still allows it
- Explaining the decision letters (voorschotbeschikking, definitieve berekening)
- Help reporting a change of income, address, partner or insurance

- Proof of Dutch health insurance (policy or insurer letter)
