For municipalities that have not yet submitted their Implementation Image (BvdU) for 2023, we remind you that the form must be received by the ministry before March 1, 2024. The requested financial information concerns the provisional realization figures for 2023 and does not require an audit report from the accountant.
When submitting the BvdU 2023, the procedure has not changed compared to the previous year. You can submit the form via the Formdesk internet application. The form can be found via the internet application Formdesk. You can access the form with a login code. A letter was sent to the municipal executive of each municipality (in November 2023) containing a unique login code, which must be used when completing the BvdU 2023 form. An authorized official (mayor, municipal secretary or another authorized signatory) of your municipality (or a joint arrangement on behalf of your municipality) can sign the form. The undersigned declares that the information included in the BvdU 2023 has been faithfully reproduced.
The explanation of the form and the technical manual are available at Financiering Participatiewet | Finance municipalities and provinces | Rijksoverheid.nl:
If the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment has not received the BvdU 2023 before March 1, 2024, the payment of the monthly advances under the Participation Act to the municipality will in principle be suspended. This can only be deviated from if a postponement of submission has been granted, if there is force majeure, or if SZW has still received the BvdU 2023 correctly and in full at the time of the decision on suspension of payment.
