ARTICLE 16Unemployment Benefit under the Legislation of the United Kingdom And Guernsey

(1) In this Article “Party” means the United Kingdom or Guernsey, as the case may be.

(2) Where a person has, since his last arrival in the territory of one Party, completed a contribution period under the legislation of that Party, then for the purpose of any claim for unemployment benefit made under the legislation of That Party, any insurance period, or period of employment, completed under the legislation of the other Party shall be treated in accordance with Article 12 as if it were an insurance period, or period of employment, completed under the legislation of the former Party.

(3) Where paragraph (2) applies, any unemployment benefit paid to a person for a period by one Party before the day for which a claim is made for unemployment benefit under the legislation of the other, Party, shall be taken into account for determining the duration of the payment under the legislation of the latter Party.

(4) Periods of employment in the territory of one Party shall be taken into account for the purpose of determining whether a person who has previously exhausted his right to unemployment benefit under the legislation of the other Party requalifies for it.

(5) This Article shall not apply to a person who claims unemployment benefit under the legislation of Guernsey and who has not paid 26 contributions as an employed person under the legislation of Guernsey.
