AMS in criticism: gattunger of unemployment benefit through new regulation!

In Austria, a controversial implementation of the Federal Ministry of Labor and Economy ensures excitement, since numerous unemployed people lose their services from the labor market service (AMS). Above all, people who are marginally employed or apply for unemployment benefit from a minor employment during a vacation entitlement are affected. According to kosmo.at , the driven unemployment benefit will be exposed on the basis of the new regulation if residual vacation claims exist. This leads to massive financial bottlenecks for the people concerned.

The Chamber of Labor (AK) Upper Austria has already taken legal action and has achieved numerous successes in court to contest the AMS decision. The current cases show how unfair the regulation hits many unemployed, because some women, as the examples concerned describe in the report, were no longer received unemployment benefit despite many years of work after their fully insured jobs have ended. They remained on the dry, while the minor employment continued to be asserted. It is also required that the AMS makes a mandatory correction, as Forum.jusline.at explained in detail.

legal uncertainties and challenges

In the discussion about the new regulation, users express concerns about the legal situation and enforcement of their claims on online platforms. It is pointed out that many affected people may not be informed about their obligations to cooperate when it comes to reporting vacation days or residual requirements. A procedure could result in additional claims from the AMS if the funds received incorrectly not reported or calculated in good time. Those affected present these ambiguities before another financial dilemma and raise questions about the transparency of the AMS.

The legal steps of the Chamber of Labor show that the pressure on the AMS grows to check lawful notices and thus no longer interrupt the payment of unemployment benefit. In view of the multitude of complaints and the decisions of the Administrative Court (VwGH), a turn could be imminent that could bring many unemployed back to urgently needed financial support.
