The Supreme Administrative Court of Finland dismissed the student's request to recover previously granted subsistence allowance from their student loan. The lower court had ordered repayment based on the student loan being considered income under the Social Assistance Act, but the Supreme Court ruled that the loan funds did not qualify as such income or assets. Consequently, the court held that the student could not be required to repay the allowance from these specific funds.

Viranhaltija oli myöntänyt opiskelijalle loka-marraskuulle 1992 toimeentulotukea 2.477 mk ja samalla päättänyt periä tuen takaisin osaksi SosiaalihuoltoL 38 §:n mukaisena ennakkona opiskelijan opintorahasta ja muilta osin opiskelijalta itseltään opintolainasta. Opintoraha 1.010 mk perittiin vastaavalta ajalta SosiaalihuoltoL 38 §:n nojalla takaisin. Sosiaali- ja terveyslautakunnan hakemuksesta lääninoikeus SosiaalihuoltoL 34 ja 36 §:n nojalla velvoitti opiskelijan maksamaan takaisin kunnalle korvaamatta olleen toimeentulotuen määrän 1.467 mk. KHO kumosi lääninoikeuden päätöksen ja hylkäsi hakemuksen, koska perittäväksi määrättyä opintolainaa ei pidetty SosiaalihuoltoL 34 §:n 1 momentin 1 kohdassa tarkoitettuina tuloina tai varoina taikka elatusta turvaavana etuutena, josta toimeentulotuki voitiin periä takaisin.
