UWVgestuurde

UWVgestuurd is a Dutch term used to describe clients, trajectories, or processes that are steered or directed by UWV, the Uitvoeringsinstituut Werknemersverzekeringen (Employee Insurance Agency). In Dutch social security and labor market policy, the designation indicates that UWV takes the lead in planning, coordinating, and monitoring reintegration or benefit-related activities, rather than other actors such as municipalities or private providers.

A UWVgestuurd traject often concerns reintegration and benefit management under UWV responsibilities, including unemployed workers eligible for WW, sick-relisted employees under sickness benefits, or other employee insurances handled by UWV. In such trajectories, UWV may perform assessments, assign participants to training programs, arrange job-search support, or organize supported employment, with ongoing monitoring and adjustments to the plan as needed.

In practice, the term signals that the UWV exercises case-management over the process, coordinating with providers in its network and ensuring that steps conform to relevant rules and timelines. It can also reflect a policy emphasis on centralizing reintegration efforts within UWV to promote consistency in guidance, funding, and outcomes.

The term appears in policy documents, guidelines, and discussions about reform of social security and employment services in the Netherlands. Its exact usage may vary by context or region. See also: UWV, WW (Werkloosheidswet), WIA (Wet werk en inkomen naar arbeidsvermogen), Ziektewet.
