Sanctions on integration income for couples with dependent children
Official title: Wetsvoorstel tot wijziging van de wet van 26 mei 2002 betreffende het recht op maatschappelijke integratie, met het oog op de consequente toepassing van het sanctiemechanisme van het geïndividualiseerde project voor maatschappelijke integratie (GPMI) bij leefloongerechtigde koppels met gezinslast.
Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The public welfare centre (CPAS/OCMW) will be able to partially suspend a couple's joint social assistance if one partner fails to meet their integration commitments without a valid reason.
- This affects couples with dependent children who receive a shared integration income.
- If your partner does not stick to agreed integration steps, your household benefit can temporarily be reduced by up to the rate of a cohabiting person.
