Questão jurídica principal
Whether IV pension arrears are protected by the non-assignability and non-seizability rules of Art. 20(1) AHVG via Art. 50 IVG so as to bar recovery of poor relief.
Decisão extraída
No. Once the pension has been paid out, the protection of Art. 20(1) AHVG no longer applies to the money received; recovery does not touch the pension claim itself.
Fundamentação extraída
The court distinguished between the protected pension entitlement and the capital formed by paid arrears. Recovery under § 44 of the poor relief statute does not amount to assignment, seizure, or set-off of the pension claim, but concerns existing assets.
