UWV reopens for Q4 applications for NOW scheme

The third tier of the NOW (Employment Bridging Emergency Fund) scheme, or NOW‑3 for short, runs from the first of October 2020 to the first of July 2021 and is divided into three trimesters, the first of which took effect on the first of October and covers the rest of 2020 until year-end.

Application for the first NOW‑3 trimester having originally been open from 16 November to 13 December 2020 inclusive, the additional COVID‑19 related measures announced on 14 December last have prompted UWV, the Employee Insurance Agency, to reopen for NOW‑3 applications until close of business on 27 December 2020.

Information on applications for the second and third trimesters of NOW‑3 will be disseminated at a later stage.
