Generato dall'IAThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the calculation base for sickness benefits for self-employed individuals. The court held that income from previous periods of voluntary sickness insurance should be included, provided no interruption exceeding 30 days occurred, while wages from prior employment are excluded. This decision ensures the benefit compensates current lost earnings without retroactively adjusting for past employment income.
