The Local Government Superannuation Regulations 1986

15.—(1) Where the relevant event is the employee's ceasing to hold his employment and neither paragraph 13(b) nor paragraph 14 applies, he is, unless sub-paragraph (2) applies, to be treated as if paragraph 12 (discontinuance of payment) had applied.

(2) This sub-paragraph applies where the employee—

(a) elected under regulation C8 to make payment by way of additional contributions, and

(b) has within 12 months after ceasing to hold his employment again entered local government employment, without having—

(i) become entitled in relation to the first employment to the payment of any benefit, or

(ii) elected to receive a payment under regulation C12(7) (return of contributions), or

(iii) made a request for earlier payment under regulation C12(12), and

(c) has not made an election for the purposes of regulation E2(9)(c) (retention of right to preserved benefits), and

(d) within 3 months after his again entering local government employment pays to his new employing authority an amount equal to any additional contributions that would have been payable if he had not ceased to hold the first employment.

(3) Where sub-paragraph (2) applies, the election under regulation C8 continues to have effect as if the relevant event had not occurred.
