    Area of Science:

    • Social Policy
    • Welfare Law
    • Public Administration

    Background:

    • The Federal Legislation on Social Welfare establishes a legitimate claim on social assistance, rooted in constitutional welfare-state principles.
    • Current application of this claim is constrained by administrative discretion, limiting its substantial validity to obligatory assistance.
    • Social values, often guided by equivalent-maxims, influence the perception and entitlement to social assistance.

    Observation:

    • The legal framework ties substantial social assistance claims to administrative discretionary decisions.
    • Restrictive handling of these discretionary estimates effectively invalidates the legitimate claim.
    • Empirical evidence indicates that the root causes of requiring social assistance are predominantly social in nature.

    Findings:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Social assistance claims are not derived from prior contributions (like pensions) but from a general entitlement to a welfare state.
    • The current system is perceived as providing statutory relief for the needy, often carrying a negative connotation.
    • A shift in understanding is proposed: social assistance should be viewed as a claim for 'reparation' due to social causes of need.

    Implications:

    • Reconceptualizing social assistance as 'reparation' could form a basis for a more progressive administration of social welfare.
    • This perspective may lead to more equitable and effective social welfare policies.
    • Addressing the social determinants of need is crucial for strengthening social assistance claims.
