How long does the process take?
After applying, the Belastingdienst processes your application and publishes a calculation of your benefit (berekening) on your Mijn Toeslagen account.
Within five weeks you will see a payment overview (voorschotbeschikking) on your Mijn Toeslagen account.
After another two weeks the same payment overview will be sent to you by post, and you will receive your first payment one week after that. Payments are usually made on the 20th of the month.
The total processing period takes roughly eight weeks. If you have not heard from the Belastingdienst within 13 weeks then you can submit a formal notice (formulier ingebrekestelling) which requires them to make a decision within two weeks.
