sosiaalipäätökseen

Sosiaalipäätös refers to a decision made within the social welfare system in Finland. These decisions can pertain to a wide range of social services and benefits provided by municipalities or Kela (the Social Insurance Institution of Finland). The purpose of a sosiaalipäätös is to determine an individual's or family's eligibility for and the extent of social assistance, support services, or benefits.

Such decisions are based on specific legislation, such as the Social Welfare Act or the Act on Social Assistance. When applying for social services, an applicant provides information about their situation, and a social worker or other authorized official assesses this information against the legal criteria. This assessment forms the basis for the sosiaalipäätös.

The decision typically outlines the granted benefit or service, its amount or scope, and the duration for which it is valid. It also includes information regarding the grounds for the decision and the applicant's rights to appeal or request a review if they disagree with the outcome. The process aims to ensure fair and equitable distribution of social support according to established rules and needs.
