The Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen (UWV) is an autonomous public authority in the Netherlands, commissioned by the Ministry of Social Affairs and Employment. Its primary mission is to ensure that all employees are insured against the financial consequences of unemployment, illness, and disability. UWV is responsible for assessing eligibility, managing, and disbursing benefits such as unemployment (WW), sickness (Ziektewet), and incapacity for work (WIA, WAO, WAZ, Wajong). Additionally, it plays a crucial role in helping individuals reintegrate into the workforce and provides labor market data and insights to various stakeholders.
