Allowance for childcare and allowance for assistance and care are two allowances in the Slovenian social security system that have caused a great deal of confusion and ambiguity in practice. For this reason, the author makes a comprehensive analysis of the abstracted case, where by presenting the relevant legal rules she performs a legal syllogism by reasoning from the above premise (terminus maior), which contains the legal factual situation and compares it to the lower premise (terminus minor), which is equal to a concrete, abstracted factual state. At the beginning, an abstract factual situation is described, as it had happened in practise to several subjects. The relevant legal rules are the basic constitutional principles, content and relationship between the two allowances, mandatory instructions from the materially competent ministry to the social work centre, rules of decision-making procedures, state liabilities for damages, presentation of groundbreaking court decisions, solutions, accepted in practice and at the end opinion of the author. As follows from above, the problem is therefore multifaceted, and like most legal issues, does not offer unambiguous solutions.
