Ordinance on the Social Welfare Act (SHV)

10 If directives are not followed and the recipient was previously

or is subsequently notified in writing of the possibility of a benefit

reduction, benefits may be reduced to the extent that the livelihood of the

aid recipient and their family members is not thereby endangered.

II. Procedure

1 Economic assistance is generally granted upon request.

**2 If the welfare authority learns of persons in need of assistance through other means, it clarifies on its own initiative whether economic assistance is necessary. However, assistance may not be imposed.**

1 The welfare authority examines its jurisdiction ex officio. If it is not competent, it refers the person seeking assistance to the welfare authority of the municipality obligated to provide assistance according to §§ 32 and 33 of the Act, and simultaneously notifies them.

2 If the circumstances warrant it, the competent welfare authority may authorize another welfare authority to provide assistance at its expense. It may also commission a social institution to care for the person seeking assistance.

1 Clarification of the circumstances is primarily achieved through interviewing the applicant for assistance and examining their documents. Further persons are to be involved with caution.

**2 The social welfare authority may rely on information gathered by other agencies.**

**3 Social welfare authorities are obliged to inform each other about the beginning, extent, duration, and causes of economic assistance granted.**

Cooperation with other agencies

cost bearers, quarterly invoices are required. Invoices must be submitted to the competent

authority within 30 days after the end of the respective billing period.9
