Key legal question
Which workplace counts as the last relevant employment for commuter-cost benefits?
Extracted holding
The relevant comparison point is the last month of contributions before the benefit period, and the actual work performed in [...]/AG was the last relevant employment; the formal but suspended job in [...]/BE does not prevail.
Extracted reasoning
For commuter-cost contributions, the court looks to the last contribution month before the new benefit period, not merely the last calendar day before it. Since the appellant actually worked in [...]/AG in October 2015, while the [...]/BE employment continued only formally during a freistellung, [...]/AG was the correct reference workplace.
