Legislator summary

AI generated

The Administrative Court of Kuopio overturned the Social and Health Committee's decision to exclude a calculated maintenance payment from the applicant's income. Although the applicant, an 18-year-old living with his parents' partner, claimed his parents did not support him, the court found he was still a minor student entitled to maintenance. Consequently, the court ruled that this maintenance must be treated as income when determining his eligibility for welfare benefits.

Voidaanko 18 vuotta täyttäneen toimeentulotuen hakijan vanhempien

laskennallinen elatusmaksu ottaa asiaa ratkaistaessa

tulona huomioon.

Lukion kolmatta luokkaa käyvä 18-vuotias A on muuttanut

vanhempiensa luota asumaan avoliitossa. Viranhaltijan A:n

toimeentulohakemuksen johdosta antamaan päätökseen liittyvässä

tulo-menolaskelmassa on otettu tulona huomioon muun

ohessa laskennallinen 1.000 markan elatusmaksu A:n vanhemmilta.

A:n ilmoituksen mukaan vanhemmat eivät osallistu

hänen elatukseensa. Sosiaali- ja terveyslautakunta on pysyttänyt

viranhaltijan päätöksen.

A on täysi-ikäinen eikä asu vanhempiensa luona. Vanhempien

ei ole selvitetty elättävän häntä. A:n ei siten voida katsoa

saavan elatustaan häneen nähden elatusvelvolliselta

henkilöltä. Sosiaali- ja terveyslautakunnan päätös kumottiin

ja asia palautettiin uudelleen käsiteltäväksi.
