The interactive theatre production Payback premiered at the Amsterdam Theatre House and will be performed at secondary schools in Amsterdam-Noord, Nieuw-West and Zuidoost until the end of March 2027. It addresses the effects of the benefits scandal on young people whose parents were affected, using their true stories.

The municipality granted €80,000 for the programme. Students are invited to respond, contribute ideas and share their perspectives; the selected districts have the highest numbers of people affected by the scandal. According to an Amsterdam official, 12,000 children in the city have parents affected by the scandal.
