The Insurance Court overturned the Review Board's decision regarding the applicant's residency status for social security purposes. While the Review Board had deemed the applicant a resident since January 1996 based on marriage and intent, the Court ruled that actual residence began only on July 9, 1996, when the temporary residence permit was granted. Consequently, the applicant's eligibility for social security benefits was calculated from the date of the residence permit rather than the earlier date of marriage.

Kansaneläkelaitos oli ottanut X:n asumisperusteisen sosiaaliturvan piiriin 9.7.1996 lukien. Tarkastuslautakunta oli pitänyt X:ää Suomessa asuvana 26.1.1996 alkaen, jolloin X oli solminut avioliiton Suomen sosiaalivakuutukseen kuuluvan miehen kanssa. VakO katsoi X:n avioliitosta ja muista seikoista esitetyn selvityksen perusteella, että X:n tarkoituksena on ollut jäädä Suomeen vakinaisesti asumaan. Koska X:lle on kuitenkin myönnetty oleskelulupa ensimmäisellä kerralla vasta 9.7.1996 alkaen, VakO katsoi X:n Suomessa asuvaksi sosiaaliturvalainsäädäntöä sovellettaessa vasta 9.7.1996 alkaen. Tarkastuslautakunnan päätös kumottiin ja asia jätettiin Kansaneläkelaitoksen päätöksen varaan.
