Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the pension arrears could be paid to the social welfare office as a third party
Extrahierter Entscheid
Third-party payment of the arrears was admissible only up to CHF 26,358, corresponding to the welfare advances for the covered period.
Extrahierte Begründung
Under Art. 50(2) IVG and Art. 85bis IVV, third-party payment of arrears is possible if the public welfare office provided advances and properly claimed payment. The municipality's claim and the appellant's signed declaration covered advances from October 1994 onward, but not earlier amounts.
