AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for study support, ruling that his residence in the USA since 1992 was not temporary. The applicant argued for support based on his studies abroad, but the court found no permanent residence in Finland. Consequently, the appeal committee's decision to deny support was upheld and the final appeal rejected.

A oli asunut isänsä työn vuoksi USA:ssa vuodesta 1992 lähtien eikä hänellä ollut ollut vakinaista kotikuntaa Suomessa tämän jälkeen. VakO katsoi, ettei A:n oleskelua ulkomailla voitu pitää tilapäisenä. A:lle ei näin ollen voitu myöntää opintotukea hänen USA:ssa harjoittamiaan opintoja varten. Opintotuen muutoksenhakulautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu. Valitus hylättiin.
