Key legal question
Whether pendlerkosten or weekly-stay contributions can be granted during intermediate earnings
Extracted holding
Yes. Neither the AVIG nor its ordinance excludes cumulation, and the seco circular cannot introduce a new substantive restriction.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that administrative instructions are not binding if they add limits not found in statute or ordinance. Doctrine is unanimous in favor of cumulation, and the purpose and system of the law do not justify an exclusion. The insured should not bear travel costs on top of already reduced intermediate-earnings income.
