Kernrechtsfrage
Whether the employee had a direct right to request refund of allegedly overpaid AHV contributions from the compensation office.
Extrahierter Entscheid
Yes. In AHV, the employee may directly claim refund of unlawfully paid contributions from the compensation office.
Extrahierte Begründung
Although the employer generally pays and accounts for paritary contributions, the employee remains the insured person; the refund rules of Art. 41 AHVV and Art. 25(3) ATSG allow a direct claim against the compensation office.
