Become part of the Control Team as a legal case handler

About the Job

Do you have an eye for detail, and do you thrive with authorities tasks and control? As a caseworker in the Control Team you will play a key role in uncovering fraud related to social benefits.

The Control Team's main task is to control potentially fraudulent activities with social benefits. Social benefits can be cash assistance, sickness benefits, and financial relief, and what is checked can be, for example, undisclosed departures in relation to allochthonous benefits or status as effectively single in relation to financial relief.
