126 annual report 2011 p. Ministry of social affairs and integration The following cases concluded in 2011 were selected for publication in the Annual Report: 14-1. E  ntitlement to temporary benefit when moving to another local government area A woman resigned from her flexible job under the flexible job scheme in order to move to another part of the country. The new local authority made a decision to the effect that the woman was to be reassessed for eligibility for a flexible job before being entitled to temporary benefit. This interpretation was in accordance with a decision in principle by the National Social Appeals Board. According to the legislative history behind section 74 b of the Act on an Active Social Policy, a person who has resigned from a flexible job under the flexible job scheme is entitled to temporary benefit if he or she had a valid reason for resigning. The Ombudsman did not agree with the authorities that moving to another local government area could never constitute a valid reason for resigning. Neither did the Ombudsman agree that the receiving local authority was always to re­ assess whether a relocating person was eligible for a flexible job under the flexible job scheme before temporary benefit could be paid to that person. In the Ombudsman’s opinion, the new local authority should have checked whether the woman had a valid reason for resigning from her flexible job. The Ombudsman therefore recommended that the Employment Appeals Board reopen the case with respect to this question. (Case No. 2010-0436-0540) 14-2.
