Questão jurídica principal
Whether IV daily benefits paid during vocational rehabilitation count as contributory employment for unemployment insurance contribution period purposes.
Decisão extraída
Yes. For a previously employed insured person, IV daily benefits are treated as gainful income subject to unemployment insurance contributions and therefore count toward the contribution period.
Fundamentação extraída
The daily benefits were subject to ALV contributions and were treated like earned income. The law and administrative practice equate such benefits for employed persons with contributory employment.
