Calculation of Unemployment Benefits
Question
I work in a day care center under the TAMAT system.
In March, I received my regular salary without a payslip, as a type of loan, because it was during the wartime period. In April, for the days when we did not work, I did not receive payment. Now I have submitted a claim to Bituach Leumi, because I need to return 70% of the March payment, and I am not eligible for unemployment benefits since all the days were already used during a period of unemployment when I moved.
Does it make sense that I have to return 70% of March’s payment, when in April I already lost payment, including for the entire Pesach holiday, which is in any case vacation time?

Answer
Hello and blessings.
Indeed, there is no logic in this. But it is not a matter of logic; it is a matter of law.
It is advisable to consult with a professional about how to submit the claim in a way that will allow you to receive what you are entitled to.
