Denial of social relief benefits: sufficiency of evidence of indigency and statutory eligibility criteria for supplementary social welfare payments.

The Supreme Administrative Court dismissed the applicant’s complaint, upholding the administrative authority’s decision to deny social relief benefits. The dispute centered on whether the claimant, a resident of a specific district who claimed indigency, qualified for supplementary unemployment benefits or other social welfare payments under the relevant social insurance and welfare statutes. The Court held that the lower authorities correctly applied the statutory criteria for financial need and that the claimant failed to demonstrate the requisite economic hardship or proper application of procedural requirements mandated by the Social Relief Act and related public benefit regulations.
