Activa: amounts and transitional file declaration
DRS instructions for the third quarter of 2026 indicate maximum amounts of Brussels allowances and their calculation. Their use assumes a right still open during activa transition.
For period 2026/3, scenario 8 table indicates 350 or 800 euros for type 020, long-term unemployed Brussels residents, and 600 or 750 euros for type 021, reduced capacity and target group of youth or older workers. Apply the amount corresponding to the granting decision and file stage, without promising these amounts for a new hire.
Calculation is done per declared occupation based on remunerated hours and factor S multiplied by four. Add calculated amounts to determine the monthly deduction, then respect the applicable ceiling when deducting net salary. Instructions distinguish this capping from the amount to declare.
Read these instructions with the bruxelles-activa-abrogation-transition-2026 fact sheet: new hires have been excluded since July 15, 2026 and the transitional deduction ends December 31, 2026. The date used corresponds to the start of the third quarter 2026 covered by the instructions.
