②When the provisions of Article 44-3, paragraph (1) are applied pursuant to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, the request under the provisions of that paragraph concerning an employees' old-age pension based on the person's time in one category must be made at the same time as that request concerning an employees' old-age pension based on the person's time in another category.

③When the provisions of Article 44-3, paragraph (5) are applied pursuant to the provisions of paragraph (1), a claim for an employees' old-age pension based on time in one category, made without filing the request under paragraph (1) of that Article after the day that marks the passage of five years from the day on which the right to benefits from an employees' old-age pension based on that time in one category was acquired, must be made at the same time as a claim for an employees' old-age pension based on that time in another category, made without filing the request under that paragraph after the day that marks the passage of five years from the day on which the right to benefits from an employees' old-age pension based on time in another category was acquired.
