Supreme Court ruled unemployment gaps after benefit cessation are not contributory periods for family pension.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the legal question regarding whether unemployment periods after unemployment benefit cessation count as contributory periods. The applicant argued that the entire period of unemployment should be recognized, while the Court noted the specific statutory limitation introduced in 1991. The decision established that only periods where benefits were actually received qualify as contributory, excluding gaps caused by inability to receive benefits.
