Mother denied social assistance due to insufficient income from unemployment benefits calculated as earnings.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe 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.
