Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's request to transfer unemployment benefits to another EU member state. The applicant had exhausted unemployment benefits and received labor market support, which the court ruled did not qualify as an unemployment benefit under Regulation 1408/71. Consequently, the decision to deny transfer was upheld as the labor market support failed to meet the statutory definition required for cross-border recognition.

X:n oikeus työttömyyspäivärahaan oli päättynyt 10.7.1995 ja hänelle oli myönnetty työmarkkinatuki 10.7.1995 alkaen. VakO katsoi, ettei työmarkkinatukea voitu pitää sellaisena asetuksen 1408/71 tarkoittamana työttömyysetuutena, mikä voitaisiin ottaa mukaan toiseen jäsenmaahan. Työttömyysturvalautakunnan päätöstä ei muutettu.
