Key legal question
Whether the monthly AVS advance paid by the pension fund qualifies as an old-age benefit deductible from unemployment benefits under Art. 18c LACI.
Extracted holding
Yes. The AVS advance is an old-age benefit of occupational pension provision and must be deducted at CHF 610.05 per month.
Extracted reasoning
It was paid under the pension fund statutes because the insured had reached the minimum age for early-retirement benefits; its financing structure makes it a pension benefit, not a mere loan.
