Question juridique clé
Whether the cantonal office could cap EL reimbursement of KVG cost-sharing at CHF 1,000 per year.
Solution extraite
No. The CHF 1,000 annual limit applies to the health insurer's cost-sharing claim, not to reimbursement under supplementary benefits, except for higher-franchise excess amounts and statutory overall caps.
Motifs extraits
Art. 14 ELG requires reimbursement of documented cost-sharing incurred in the current year. Cantonal law may limit reimbursement only as allowed by federal law; a general annual CHF 1,000 cap for EL reimbursement lacks a federal basis.
