On June 11, 2014 the National Institute of Disability Management and Research (NIDMAR) signed a license agreement with RIZIV-INAMI, (Belgium Health Insurance Agency), which manages supplemental security income (SSI) benefits for, non-occupational injuries and illnesses for the country’s more than 11 million people. The agreement allows the agency to begin training individuals under its own “Back to Work” program, using the International Disability Management Standard Council’s curriculum and designations. Currently, more than 300,000 Belgians are off work due to non-occupational disease and injuries.
