Unemployment benefit for single parents ends if single status is acquired after the 12-month period expires.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a single parent loses unemployment benefits if they become single only after the statutory 12-month benefit period expires. The applicant, a mother of four, lost her benefit due to the time limit but later obtained single status following her divorce. The court held that the right to benefits ceases upon the expiration of the period, regardless of subsequent changes in marital status. Consequently, the court ruled that the specific statutory provision granting extended benefits to single parents does not apply in this scenario.
