**第一項**  昭和五十五年六月一日から施行日の前日までの間において第六条の規定による改正前の法律第百八十二号附則第八条第三項の請求をした者が、その者に支給されることとなる第一条の規定による改正後の厚生年金保険法による通算老齢年金の額が当該請求をした日にその者が当該通算老齢年金を受ける権利を取得したものとみなして計算した当該通算老齢年金の額に満たない場合において、施行日から昭和五十五年十二月三十一日までの間に、社会保険庁長官に申し出たときは、同年六月一日から施行日の前日までの間のその者に支給する第一条の規定による改正後の同法による通算老齢年金を受ける権利の取得又は消滅については、第一条の規定による改正後の同法第四十六条の六の規定、第六条の規定による改正後の法律第百八十二号附則第八条第三項の規定及び前条の規定にかかわらず、なお従前の例による。

Where a person who, during the period from June 1, 1980 through the day before the Effective Date, made a request under Article 8, paragraph (3) of the Supplementary Provisions of Act No. 182 prior to its amendment by the provisions of Article 6 finds that the amount of the aggregated old-age pension under the Employees' Pension Insurance Act as amended by the provisions of Article 1 that is to be paid to that person is less than the amount of that aggregated old-age pension calculated on the assumption that the person acquired the right to receive it on the day of that request, and applies to the Director-General of the Social Insurance Agency during the period from the Effective Date through December 31, 1980, the provisions then in force continue to govern the acquisition or extinguishment of the right to receive the aggregated old-age pension under that Act as amended by the provisions of Article 1 that is to be paid to that person for the period from June 1 of that year through the day before the Effective Date, notwithstanding the provisions of Article 46-6 of that Act as amended by the provisions of Article 1, the provisions of Article 8, paragraph (3) of the Supplementary Provisions of Act No. 182 as amended by the provisions of Article 6, and the provisions of the preceding Article.

**第二項**  前条の規定は、前項の申出をした者であつて、施行日の前日において現に第一条の規定による改正前の厚生年金保険法による通算老齢年金を受ける権利を有していないものについて準用する。この場合において、前条中「昭和五十五年六月一日」とあるのは、「施行日」と読み替えるものとする。
