Abstract
The Judgement of the Supreme Court of 23 October 2019 decisively contributes to clarifying the legal nature that should be attributed to the jobseekers’ allowance and, in particular, whether the same can be assimilated to the unemployment subsidy. The analysis of this matter is not, however, directly tackled in this court decision, but rather as a necessary premise when it comes to solving the true issue at stake to which this judgement refers, which is none other than that of determining whether expiry of the jobseekers’ allowance can meet the requirement of a -contributory or welfare- unemployment benefit having expired, demanded at the appropriate time to be able to access the special subsidy for early retirement.
