Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the repayment of CHF 30,198 from overpaid supplementary benefits had to be waived under the good-faith/hardship rule.
Extrahierter Entscheid
The waiver was refused because the appellant was not in good faith: he failed to exercise the required control and notice duties by not reacting to the clearly empty employment-income line in the EL calculations.
Extrahierte Begründung
The court found no deliberate concealment, but held that the appellant’s failure to check the benefit statements at least grossly negligently excluded good faith. Since good faith was missing, hardship did not need to be examined.
