Key legal question
Whether commuter allowance can be paid from the start of employment despite late filing of the application
Extracted holding
No. The application was filed too late and, absent excusable reasons, benefits could only be paid from the time recognized by the authority.
Extracted reasoning
Art. 71(3) AVIG and Art. 95(1) in connection with Art. 81(3) AVIV require filing before taking up outside work; this is a substantive eligibility condition, not merely an organizational deadline.
