Omnilex-Zusammenfassung

The case concerns a beneficiary of housing support who failed to notify the OLS of an increase in income. The authority issued a retroactive surcharge decision. The court held that, under RLGL.11 al. 3, the omission of the mandatory notification justified the retroactive surcharge, and the decision was upheld.

Omnilex-Regeste

RLGL.11 al. 3; duty to notify changes in income affecting entitlement; where the beneficiary fails to report an increase in income, the authority may impose a retroactive surcharge to correct the support situation. The decisive element is the breach of the reporting obligation; no prior warning is required once the change should have been declared.

Kernrechtsfrage

Whether an unreported increase in income may justify a retroactive surcharge decision.

Extrahierter Entscheid

Yes. The person who did not report the income increase to the OLS must be subjected to a retroactive surcharge decision.

Extrahierte Begründung

RLGL.11 para. 3 requires notification of changes affecting entitlement; failure to notify an income increase allows the authority to correct the situation retroactively through a surcharge.
