Questão jurídica principal
Whether the appellant was entitled to 120 additional unemployment benefit daily allowances and an extended benefit framework period.
Decisão extraída
No. A person exempt from fulfilling the contribution period is limited to 90 daily allowances within the ordinary two-year benefit framework period and cannot rely on the age-related extension.
Fundamentação extraída
Article 27(3) AVIG and Article 41b AVIV apply only when the benefit framework period is opened after the insured person has reached the relevant pre-retirement age threshold. The appellant reached age 61 only after the framework period had already begun, and in any event persons exempt from the contribution period are excluded from the extension regime.
