Family pension recipient must return all overpaid amounts retroactively without adjusting future shares.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the Social Insurance Institution's appeal against a lower court ruling that exempted a brother from returning family pension overpayments. The court found that the brother unilaterally stopped studying, causing him to lose his share of the pension, while his sister continued to receive her portion. The court ruled that the recipient must return the entire overpaid amount retroactively because the law prohibits retroactively recalculating the pension split for periods before the discovery of the error.
