 In the early 20th century the Dutch government retained an official whose responsibilities included maintaining the pedigree of Clara van Spaerwoude's family and disbursing the funds to qualifying relatives.By the 1920s the fund still held half a million guilders, but the payment per relation had dwindled to the equivalent of €11.35.In 1922 the Dutch government passed a law liquidating the balance of the fund and dispensing it among the poorest 10% of adult van Spaerwoude relations.
