BUG: ALG 2 no Mehrbedarf für Alleinerziehende is paid if child is in separate Bedarfsgemeinschaft (in the same household)

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Bug description

The law on Mehrbedarf for single parents does specify that the children have to live in the same household. There does not seem to be a restriction that they have to be in the same Bedarfsgemeinschaft.

However, if a child forms a separate BG (eigenbedarf_gedeckt = True), we currently do not pay Mehrbedarf for single parents to the parent.

ToDo

  • check whether my interpretation of the law is correct
  • if this is confirmed, rewrite _arbeitsl_geld_2_alleinerz_mehrbedarf_m_bg such that (some) input variables refer to the fg level

I agree with your interpretation. I changed the inputs from bg to fg in #753

Closed via #753
