Key legal question
Whether the monthly basic social assistance amount had to be increased because the applicant considered the household-based rate too low.
Extracted holding
No. Because he lived with his mother, the applicable SKOS-based rate for a two-person household applied, and there was no entitlement to a higher basic amount.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that social assistance basic needs are standardized by household size; the relevant factor is shared household economy, not private-law family relations. The amount of CHF 755 for a two-person household was therefore correct.
