Welfare (bijstand)
You can apply for welfare (bijstand) at the Amstelveenloket in city hall. If you are able to work, we will actively start looking for work with you. With this work you will be able to financially support yourself again. Unfortunately it's not always possible to find work directly. If this is the case, we will tell you how to apply for welfare.
The amount of people in your household determine the sum of welfare you can receive. If there are more people in your household, your welfare will be less, because you can share the cost of living.

The municipality also provides welfare for business owners. For more information you can contact the Amstelveenloket.
