With regard to the standardized remuneration for the period from May to September of that year of a person who acquired the status of an insured before May 1, 1965 and has continuously held the status of an insured up to that day (excluding a person who holds the status of a class 4 insured person), among those persons whose standardized monthly amount of remuneration in April of that year is 3,000 yen, 4,000 yen, 5,000 yen or 6,000 yen, or 36,000 yen (excluding a person whose monthly amount of remuneration is less than 37,500 yen), the provisions of Article 20 of the Employees' Pension Insurance Act as amended by this Act apply on the assumption that the person acquired the status of an insured on May 1 of that year; in this case, if the person is an insured covered by health insurance, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 22, paragraph (1) of that Act, the monthly amount of remuneration that served as the basis of the person's standardized remuneration in May of that year under the Health Insurance Act (Act No. 70 of 1922) is deemed to be the monthly amount of remuneration that serves as the basis of the standardized remuneration under the Employees' Pension Insurance Act as amended by this Act.
