Non-EU PhD Candidate: Eligibility for Huurtoeslag & Zorgtoeslag with the 30% ruling?

Hi everyone,

I'll be moving to the Netherlands in September to start my PhD. As a non-EU candidate, I'll be on a residence/work permit. My gross salary will be around €3,000 per month, and I'm hoping to get the 30% ruling approved.

I'm trying to figure out my budget and was wondering about the rental allowance (huurtoeslag) and healthcare allowance (zorgtoeslag).

Are non-EU PhD candidates legally eligible for these toeslagen?

Does the 30% ruling lower the taxable income used to calculate these allowances?

Has anyone here been in a similar situation and successfully applied? If so, roughly how much can I expect to receive per month?

Any insights into the application process would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks!
