ATA/320/1997Cour de justice / Chambre administrative27 mai 1997Other
The decision clarifies the temporal relationship between affiliation and benefit entitlement in social insurance. It holds that the right to benefits begins on the day an approved fund receives the request for affiliation. The court distinguishes this from the start of insurance coverage; the two moments coincide only where the statutory scheme does not provide for a probationary period or waiting time.

Résumé
Le droit aux prestations court dès le jour où une caisse agréé reçoit une demande d'affiliation. Il faut distinguer le début de l'assurance du début du droit aux prestations. Ces deux moments ne coïncident que lorsque les dispositions statutaires ne prévoient pas de stage ou de délais d'attente.
