A survivors' basic pension or a widow's pension is, while the person entitled to receive it is able to receive another pension benefit (excluding the additional pension) or an insurance benefit that is a pension under the Employees' Pension Insurance Act (excluding one paid on the same ground for payment as that pension benefit; the same applies hereinafter in this Article), suspended for that period. The same applies to the old-age basic pension, in a case where the person entitled to receive the old-age basic pension is able to receive another pension benefit (excluding the additional pension) or an insurance benefit that is a pension under that Act (excluding the survivors' employees' pension), and to the disability basic pension, in a case where the person entitled to receive the disability basic pension is able to receive another pension benefit (excluding the additional pension).
A person entitled to receive a pension benefit whose payment is to be suspended under the provisions of the preceding paragraph may, notwithstanding the provisions of that paragraph, apply for the suspension of payment to be lifted. However, this does not apply where the suspension of payment of the other pension benefit or the insurance benefit that is a pension under the Employees' Pension Insurance Act prescribed in that paragraph relating to that person has been lifted under the main clause of this paragraph, the following paragraph, or a provision specified by Cabinet Order as equivalent to these under other laws and regulations.
With respect to a pension benefit whose payment is to be suspended under the provisions of paragraph (1), if payment is made for the portion of the month in which the day on which the grounds for suspending payment arose falls, the application under the preceding paragraph relating to that pension benefit is deemed to have been made at the time those grounds arose.
The application under paragraph (2) (including that application in a case where it is deemed, under the provisions of the preceding paragraph, to have been made) may be withdrawn at any time, with effect for the future.
