The Administrative Court of Mikkeli rejected the applicant's request to stop the recovery of welfare benefits due to a pension. The social committee had recovered 20,113 marks from a pension while the applicant received welfare for two years, alongside other income sources. The court ruled that the applicant and family did not face a subsistence crisis because the recovery did not create a need for welfare, citing additional expenses like consumption loans that were not considered in the welfare need assessment.

Kunnan sosiaalilautakunta oli myöntänyt A:lle toimeentulotukea

ennakkona odotettavissa olevaa työkyvyttömyyseläkettä

vastaan ja päättänyt periä toimeentulotuen takaisin tästä

eläkkeestä. Sosiaalilautakunnan nostettua eläkkeen A vaati

hallintoriita-asiana eläkkeen palauttamista, koska toimeentulotuen

takaisinperiminen vaarantaa perheen toimeentulon.

Sosiaalilautakunnan selvityksen mukaan A:n perheelle oli

annettu toimeentulotukea 11.10.1990 - 28.2.1991 yhteensä

26 686 markkaa minkä lisäksi A:lla oli ollut tulona asumistuki

ja elatusmaksut kahdesta lapsesta. Takautuvasti maksetusta

eläkkeestä oli peritty 20 113 markkaa. Sosiaalilautakunta

katsoi A:n saavan toimeentulotuen kahteen kertaan, jos

kunta velvoitetaan palauttamaan takaisinperitty toimeentulotuki.

Lääninoikeus hylkäsi A:n hakemuksen, koska hakija ja hänen

perheensä eivät toimeentulotuen takaisinperimisen johdosta

joutuneet toimeentulotuen tarpeeseen eikä takaisinperiminen

siten vaarantanut perheen toimeentuloa. Hakijalla oli lisäksi

kulutusluotoista johtuvia ja muita sellaisia menoja, joita

ei oteta huomioon toimeentulotuen tarvetta määrättäessä.
