Call to suspend stricter integration income rules for cohabitants
Official title: Voorstel van resolutie betreffende het koninklijk besluit van 7 januari 2026 tot wijziging van artikel 34, §§ 1 en 2, van het koninklijk besluit van 11 juli 2002 houdende het algemeen reglement betreffende het recht op maatschappelijke integratie, de gevolgen daarvan voor samenwonenden en de niet-inachtneming van het voorafgaande advies van de Raad van State.
Status: Parliament has rejected this proposal. (parliament: ‘Rejected in plenary session’)
In plain language
- This proposal asks the federal government to suspend stricter integration income rules for cohabitants and first assess their impact.
- The measure affects cohabitants who receive or apply for social integration income, their cohabiting relatives, and local social welfare centres (CPAS/OCMW).
- If the federal decree takes effect, the income of cohabiting family members will be counted, which could reduce or end your social assistance.
