**第一項**  この法律の公布の日から起算して十三年以内に第二種被保険者の資格を喪失した者に対しては、当該資格を喪失した時において通算年金制度を創設するための関係法律の一部を改正する法律（昭和三十六年法律第百八十二号。以下この条において「関係整理法」という。）附則第九条第二項の規定による脱退手当金の受給権を取得する場合を除き、関係整理法による改正前の厚生年金保険法の規定の例により脱退手当金を支給する。ただし、当該脱退手当金を支給すべき場合において、その支給を受けるべき者が、その際、通算老齢年金の受給権を有しているとき、又は通算老齢年金の受給権を取得したときは、この限りでない。
<sup>suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employees-pension-insurance-act/suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/l/329AC0000000115/suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-1</sup>
To a person who lost status as a class 2 insured person within 13 years counted from the day of the promulgation of this Act, except where, at the time of losing that status, the person acquires the right to receive a withdrawal allowance under Article 9, paragraph (2) of the Supplementary Provisions of the Act Partially Amending Related Acts to Establish an Aggregated Pension System (Act No. 182 of 1961; hereinafter referred to in this Article as the "Related Laws Arrangement Act"), a withdrawal allowance is paid in accordance with the provisions of the Employees' Pension Insurance Act prior to the amendment by the Related Laws Arrangement Act; provided, however, that this does not apply if, in a case where the withdrawal allowance is to be paid, the person who is to receive it has, at that time, the right to receive an aggregated old-age pension, or acquires the right to receive an aggregated old-age pension.

**第二項**  昭和三十六年十一月一日からこの法律の公布の日の前日までの間に第二種被保険者の資格を取得した者（明治四十四年四月一日以前に生れた者を除く。）であつて、この法律の公布の際現に被保険者でないものであり、かつ、その被保険者期間が二年以上であるものに対しても、前項と同様とする。
<sup>suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employees-pension-insurance-act/suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/l/329AC0000000115/suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-2</sup>
The same as in the preceding paragraph applies to a person who acquired status as a class 2 insured person during the period from November 1, 1961 to the day before the day of the promulgation of this Act (excluding a person born on or before April 1, 1911), who is not an insured at the time of the promulgation of this Act and whose insured period is two years or more.

**第三項**  前二項の規定による脱退手当金の受給権は、その受給権者が当該受給権の取得の日後において通算老齢年金の受給権を取得したときは、消滅する。
<sup>suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/employees-pension-insurance-act/suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-3 · https://japanlaw.org/l/329AC0000000115/suppl-3401-104/art-17/par-3</sup>
The right to receive benefits from a withdrawal allowance under the provisions of the preceding two paragraphs ceases to exist when its beneficiary acquires the right to receive benefits from an aggregated old-age pension after the day of acquisition of that right.

**第四項**  第一項又は第二項の規定による脱退手当金の受給権者が死亡した場合には、これらの規定によりその例によるものとされている関係整理法による改正前の厚生年金保険法の規定にかかわらず、厚生年金保険法第三十七条の規定を準用する。
