Let goed op als je deze brief krijgt
Heb jij een brief gekregen over toeslagen? Dan heb je misschien nog geld tegoed.

Maar let op: je moet zélf een aanvraag doen, anders krijg je niks.

Wat is er aan de hand?
De Dienst Toeslagen stuurt brieven naar mensen die vorig jaar geen zorgtoeslag hebben aangevraagd.

Volgens hun gegevens heb je misschien tóch recht op die toeslag over 2024.

Hoeveel tijd heb je?
Je kunt nog tot 1 september 2025 zorgtoeslag aanvragen over 2024. Daarna is het te laat.

Wat moet je doen?
In de brief staat hoeveel geld je misschien kunt krijgen. Maar je krijgt dat geld alleen als je het zelf aanvraagt. Dat staat in de kleine letters van de brief.

Waar vind je hulp?
Op Uitlegtoeslagen.nl legt Steffie uit hoe zorgtoeslag werkt. Daar leer je:

Wat zorgtoeslag is

Wanneer je recht hebt op geld

Hoe je een aanvraag doet

En waar je hulp kunt krijgen als je het lastig vindt

Leuk weetje
In Nederland krijgen meer dan 5 miljoen mensen één of meer toeslagen van de overheid!
