Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the applicant's claim for Finnish unemployment benefits because the applicant was not a member of the Swedish unemployment insurance fund while working in Sweden between February and August 2014. The applicant argued that their long duration of work in Sweden should count towards the employment requirement, but the court rejected this since membership in the Finnish fund did not automatically satisfy the foreign work condition. Consequently, the court ruled that the specific Swedish work period could not be included in the employment requirement calculation.

A ei ollut Ruotsissa työskennellessään ajalla 10.2. - 28.8.2014 ollut ruotsalaisen työttömyyskassan jäsen. Tästä johtuen Ruotsin työskentelykautta ei voitu ottaa huomioon Suomen ansiopäivärahan työssäoloehdossa. A oli työskennellyt Ruotsissa suhteellisen pitkään, eikä Ruotsissa tehtyä työtä voitu lukea työssäoloehtoon myöskään sillä perusteella, että A oli ollut suomalaisen työttömyyskassan jäsen 16.2.2014 alkaen.
