Social Insurance Benefits and Imputed Spousal Income
Sintesi Legislator
Generato dall'IAA claimant appealed a decision by the social insurance institution that calculated supplementary benefits based on a hypothetical earned income for the claimant's spouse, asserting the spouse had voluntarily foregone income. The court reasoned that such an imputation of hypothetical income is permissible under the law to prevent individuals from deliberately reducing their means to qualify for higher benefits, provided the voluntary foregone income is substantial and not based on valid reasons like caring for children or other duties impacting earning capacity.
