Cantonal Equalization Office v. Claimant (Supplementary Benefits Denial for Asset Divestment)
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAA claimant appealed a decision by the cantonal equalization office denying supplementary benefits due to the claimant's failure to divest of assets. The central issue was whether the claimant, who received substantial gifts shortly before applying for benefits, had intentionally rendered themselves indigent to qualify for the aid. The court upheld the denial, reasoning that the voluntary divestment of assets shortly before applying for supplementary benefits, without a valid, impending necessity to make such gifts, constitutes an impermissible circumvention of asset requirements for receiving public assistance, thereby justifying the denial of benefits for the period covered by the divested assets.
