Key legal question
Whether the complete termination of social assistance was unconstitutional because the applicant still claimed an absolute minimum right to support.
Extracted holding
The constitutional right to emergency assistance is conditional; a person who can earn the means of subsistence by accepting reasonable work has no entitlement to social assistance.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 12 BV and the cantonal guarantee protect only those who are in need and cannot provide for themselves. Since the offered job was reasonably available and would have yielded more than the welfare benefit, the applicant was not in a protected need situation.
