Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the claim for unemployment support against the Finnish Social Insurance Institution. The applicant, residing in Finland but registered in Sweden, argued for Swedish benefits under the EEC regulation, while the court applied the Nordic Social Security Convention. The court ruled that residence is primarily determined by the population register, allowing an exception only upon verified long-term residence abroad and inter-agency coordination, which was lacking here.

Kysymys Ruotsissa väestökirjoilla olevan ja tosiasiallisesti Suomessa asuvan henkilön oikeudesta työmarkkinatukeen. ETY-asetusta 1408/71 ei sovelleta työmarkkinatukeen. Asiaan sovellettiin Pohjoismaista sosiaalisopimusta, jonka pääsäännön mukaan asuinmaa määräytyy väestökirjanpidon perusteella. Pääsäännöstä voidaan erityisestä syystä poiketa esim. jos henkilö on useita vuosia asunut vakinaisesti muussa Pohjoismaassa kuin missä on kirjoilla. Tämä poikkeaminen edellyttää kyseessä olevien maiden viranomaisten yhteydenpitoa niin, että vältetään kaksinkertainen vakuuttaminen tai toisaalta jonkun jääminen kokonaan ilman sosiaalivakuutusturvaa. Koska näitä neuvotteluja ei ollut riittävästi käyty asia palautettiin Kansaneläkelaitokselle. Työttömyysturvalautakunnan päätös kumottiin.
