Key legal question
Whether a self-taxed adult child in education has an independent right to premium subsidies when the parents received the tax social deduction.
Extracted holding
No. Under the cantonal rules, the child is allocated to the family unit and has no separate entitlement if the supporting parents obtained the relevant tax deduction.
Extracted reasoning
Section 3 PV-Vo treats the one- or two-parent family as the calculation and payment unit, and section 20(2)(b) excludes premium subsidies for self-taxed adult children in education when the parents claimed the corresponding social deduction. The court held the wording clear and rejected reliance on higher living costs.
