Law (general) / Finnish Iimigration decision
Finnish term or phrase: korvaavia
I guess "korvaavia" is the most "offending" word here, but really I don't get what is meant here:
Are social security benefits replacing or in lieu of costs or the other way around. Wuld cost-compensating work here or what?
Tällaisena etuutena ei pidetä kustannuksia korvaavia sosiaaliturvaetuuksia.

Thanks for assist with this.
