Abstract
Five judgments from the Court of Justice on social security are reported on in this case note. First,
Raad van bestuur van de Sociale verzekeringbank v X and Y (C-713/20) concerns the legislation
applicable under Regulation 883/2004 to temporary agency workers in relation to periods
between contracts. Second, DN v Finanzamt Österreich (Recouvrement de prestations familiales)
(C-199/21) deals with the right to receive family benefits for a parent not residing with his
child but bearing the costs of maintenance. Third, MCM v Centrala studiestödsnämnden (C-638/
20) is about the export of student financial assistance for family members of migrant workers
under Article 45 TFEU. Fourth, the requirement to register a partnership for the purpose of
accessing a survivor’s pension in a Member State, although that partnership was lawfully concluded
and registered in another Member State, is under scrutiny in Caisse nationale d’assurance pension
(C-731/21). Fifth and finally, FK v Rechtsanwaltskammer Wien (C-58/21) discusses the requirement
to waive one’s right to practise as a lawyer in other Member States in order to be granted an early
retirement pension in light of Articles 45 TFEU and Article 49 TFEU.
