Published the twenty-ninth August 2006The Secretary of State for Justice,
J. P. H. Donner
In the calculation of the benefit to municipalities on the basis of Article 69, 1st paragraph, of the Participation Act , a basis is calculated for each municipality. For the small municipalities with 15,000 inhabitants or less, this is the historically defined budget: the burden, scaled up with growth or shrinkage in households. The basis for calculating the basis for municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants is the municipal benefit cost objectively determined (this is the cost of wage-cost subsidy and general assistance based on the Participation Act, including assistance to entrepreneurs on the basis of the BZ 2004 and benefits IOAW and IOAZ ). On the basis of Article 6, these shall be determined on the basis of an objective distribution model. This objective distribution model is set out in this Annex.
For municipalities between 15,000 and 40,000 inhabitants, budgets are not fully determined on the basis of the results of the objective distribution model. For this group of municipalities it is calculated both historically and objectively determined budgets. The part which is objective and which is determined on the basis of the municipal burden depends on the number of inhabitants. In an increasing number of inhabitants, the share that is objectively determined varies linearly from 0% for 15,000 inhabitants to 100% for 40,000 inhabitants. For medium-sized municipalities, first of all, it is calculated what the budget would have been for the municipality if this would have been completely historic. This budget is multiplied by the proportion calculated for the municipality which is historically determined. The objective distribution model is then calculated for the foreseeable future expenditure for both medium and large municipalities. For a medium-sized municipality, the calculated amount shall be multiplied by the proportion calculated for the municipality which is objectively determined. The historically determined part of the base and the objectively determined part of the base are summed up.
The results of the distribution model are so calibrated that the total of the bases of medium and large municipalities are exactly the same as the macro-budget available for medium and large municipalities. The first time for medium-sized municipalities certain historical parts of the base are fixed and therefore not changed. This systematics ensures that the outcome of the distribution model for a large municipality is directly the budget that the municipality receives. The calculated basis is therefore equal to the budget. Even for medium-sized municipalities, the basis for the budget is that the basis for these municipalities is not merely calculated objectively. The total amount available to municipalities with 15,000 inhabitants or less is equal to the proportion of the total municipal burden of municipalities with less than 15,000 inhabitants compared to the sum of all municipal charges (compartment-out). The municipal burden has been the historical expenditure of two years earlier, scaled up with growth or shrinkage in households. The remaining budget is available to the municipalities with more than 15,000 inhabitants.
The basis for the calculation of the objectively determined municipal benefit costs is an explanatory model. The aim of this explanatory model is to identify the factors determining the probability of a (private) household receiving an allowance for assistance. Table 1 gives an insight into the variables included in the certification model, as well as the source to which these data are derived. The parameters (weights) of the explanatory model will be laid down in a ministerial arrangement.

The explanatory model is (largely) based on the CBS Workforce Survey (EBB) of the CBS. Since this is a sample, it does not contain the data of all households (in a municipality). For converting the results of the explanatory model into actual budgeted shares for municipalities, micro-simulation shall therefore be used. In doing so, the data file for all municipalities is considered to be representative of that municipality. If, for example, a municipality has 30,000 households and 50 000 inhabitants, 25% of whom are low-educated, and 48% live in a purchase house, the data file for this municipality is adapted in such a way that it fully complies with these characteristics. The Reweighting uses the Linear Truncated method, as described in Singh and Mohl (1996) as method 5, where the lower limit (U) is set to zero while the upper limit (L) is left free. 1
In this case, a starting distribution (used in this case, the national distribution based on the EBB) is adjusted so that the data file is representative of the respective municipality. The minimum characteristics of the municipalities in Table 2 are used in this representative. The current years of this data are to be laid down in a ministerial arrangement. This ministerial arrangement may also provide for the use of more data than those set out in Table 2 with the aim of further improving representativeness.

After being representative, the coefficients of the explanatory model can be used to determine the possibility of assistance for each household in the file. This opportunity shall be determined on the basis of household characteristics, taking into account the environmental characteristics given in Table 1 and the impact of the COROP area. In doing so, all neighborhoods with the same liability are taken together, applying the average WOZ value of those neighborhoods to the calculation of the opportunities of the respective households. The peilyears and peildates of the environmental features are also laid down in the said ministerial arrangement.
Then, on the basis of gross aid amounts (on an annual basis), how much a household would receive based on the quality of life of the household (or a few or a single person). Gross amounts of assistance are derived from the net grant amounts, as they are published in June preceding the year of implementation of each ministerial arrangement. In combination with the probability of assistance, this gives the expected amount of assistance that the municipality has to spend on this household given the risk profile of the household. The expected amounts per household shall be added to all households within the representative file.
The determination of the municipal allocation costs objectively determined shall be the apportionment of the apportionment characteristics as defined above. The budget shall be calculated on the basis of the figures available for the purposes of determining the distribution to the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment. If these figures are further amended (e.g. by the use of an alternative method of measurement or the use of information), the budgets will not be adjusted accordingly. If missing data (for example, the number of observations is so small that the CBS does not release any figures) no good calculation can be made of the benefit costs, a reasonable approach will be applied to these dates.
Localities and mergers of municipalities are regulated regularly. In these cases, it is necessary to establish which values of the distribution characteristics for the new municipalities will be applied. In such cases, it will be reasonable to estimate the situation of the new municipalities as they would have been at the time of adoption if the institution or amendment had already started to take effect on that date.
