Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court allowed the claimant to recover housing allowance payments made during a period of temporary employment interruption. The Social Security Administration had denied the claim based on a significant income change, but the court found the employment gaps were too short to constitute permanent income. Consequently, the court ruled that the claimant was not obligated to repay the allowance for the disputed period.

Legislator headnote

ASTL 15 §; ASTL 4 § 2 momentin nojalla: Temporary employment periods under six months do not constitute permanent income, allowing recovery of housing allowance if the income change was due to such short-term interruptions.

Kelan lakkautettua välitarkistuksen perusteella 1.4.1997 alkaen asumistukilain (ASTL) 15 §:n nojalla kuukausituloissa tapahtuneen huomattavan muutoksen johdosta, tarkastuslautakunta oli hylännyt valituksen ASTL:n 4 §:n 2 momentin nojalla. VakO on tutkinut enemmän viivytyksen välttämiseksi välitarkistusperusteen oikeellisuuden ja katsonut, ettei Kelan olisi tullut tehdä asumistuen välitarkistusta, koska työsuhteet olivat kestäneet 17.3.-22.5.1997 ja 4.8.-24.9.1997 ja oikeuskäytännössä on vakiintunut tulkinta, jonka mukaan alle kuuden kuukauden työsuhteesta saatuja tuloja ei katsota pysyviksi. Tämän vuoksi X ei ole velvollinen maksamaan takaisin asumistukeaan ajalta 1.4.-31.10.1997. Tarkastuslautakunnan päätös kumottiin.
