title: Act on income assistance for formerly self-employed persons who are elderly and partially incapacitated, 11 June 1987.
abstract: This Act establishes an income assistance scheme for formerly self-employed persons in the Netherlands who are elderly and partially incapacitated for work, whose income is substantially below the minimum social standard, and who have, therefore, ceased their economic activity or enterprise.  It provides for an allowance for self-employed persons who have not attained 65 years of age and who have ceased their economic activity after reaching age 55 or interrupted it because of incapacity to work.  The main requirement for entitlement to an allowance is having engaged in an income-generating activity for more than three consecutive years which resulted in an average income not exceeding 32,300 florins.
