Unemployment benefit period during disability is not a contributory period under pension laws.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Daniel U.'s appeal regarding his disability pension claim, ruling that a specific unemployment benefit period did not count as a contributory period. The applicant received a special benefit for his work incapacity while waiting for his three-month unemployment allowance, but the court found this period excluded from pension calculations. Consequently, the Social Insurance Office's decision was upheld because only the subsequent unemployment benefit period qualified as contributory.
