Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court dismissed the mother's appeal regarding her denial of social assistance. She argued she could not support her three-year-old child at home due to lack of adequate income, as her expected unemployment benefits were treated as earnings. The court ruled that since social assistance is a last resort, she was legally obligated to seek employment or unemployment benefits first, and her calculated income from these sources was correctly excluded from the assistance calculation.

Kotona yli 3-vuotiasta lastaan hoitanut äiti haki toimeentulotukea.

Hän ei saanut tarpeenmukaista toimeentuloaan

häneen nähden elatusvelvollisen huolenpidolla eikä muuten.

Koska toimeentulotuki on viimesijainen toimeentulotuen

kattamismuoto, hän oli velvollinen ensin hakemaan ansiotyötä

tai työttömyyspäivärahaa. Hänen oletettu työttömyyspäivärahansa

saatiin lukea tuloksi toimeentulotukilaskelmassa.
