**第一項**  施行日から昭和五十一年十二月一日までの期間（以下「暫定期間」という。）内に新法第九条の規定により掛金月額が増加された退職金共済契約（附則第二条第四項の規定により同条第一項本文に規定する期間の満了の時に掛金月額が八百円に増加されたものとみなされた退職金共済契約を含む。）の被共済者であつて、当該被共済者に係る掛金の納付があつた月数が二十四月以上であり、かつ、当該増加後の掛金月額による掛金の納付があつた月数が二十四月未満であるもの（以下「特例被共済者」という。）が退職したときにおける退職金の額は、新法第十条第二項（前条の規定に該当する者にあつては、同条。以下同じ。）の規定にかかわらず、次の各号により計算して得た額の合算額とする。ただし、当該合算額が新法第十条第二項の規定により計算して得た額に達しない場合は、この限りでない。
<sup>suppl-3501-40/art-5/par-1 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/sme-retirement-allowance-act/suppl-3501-40/art-5/par-1</sup>
The amount of the retirement allowance when a special-case covered employee retires is, notwithstanding Article 10, paragraph (2) of the New Act (for a person falling under the provisions of the preceding Article, that Article; the same applies hereinafter), the total of the amounts calculated under each of the following items; provided, however, that this does not apply where that total does not reach the amount calculated under Article 10, paragraph (2) of the New Act. Here, a "special-case covered employee" (hereinafter referred to as a "special-case covered employee") means a covered employee under a retirement allowance mutual aid contract whose monthly premium was increased pursuant to Article 9 of the New Act during the period from the Effective Date to December 1, 1976 (hereinafter referred to as the "interim period") (including a retirement allowance mutual aid contract whose monthly premium is deemed to have been increased to 800 yen at the time of expiry of the period prescribed in the main clause of Article 2, paragraph (1) pursuant to Article 2, paragraph (4) of the Supplementary Provisions), whose number of months for which premiums were paid is 24 or more, and whose number of months for which premiums were paid at the monthly premium after that increase is less than 24.

  <sup>suppl-3501-40/art-5/par-1/item-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/sme-retirement-allowance-act/suppl-3501-40/art-5/par-1/item-2</sup>
  for each 100 yen of the amount of increase in the monthly premium during the interim period, the amount obtained by multiplying 100 yen by the number of months for which premiums were paid on that amount of increase.

**第二項**  前項の規定は、同項の退職金共済契約が解除されたことに伴い特例被共済者に支給される解約手当金の額について準用する。この場合において、同項中「新法第十条第二項（前条の規定に該当する者にあつては、同条。以下同じ。）」及び「新法第十条第二項」とあるのは、「新法第十三条第四項」と読み替えるものとする。
<sup>suppl-3501-40/art-5/par-2 · https://japanlaw.org/ja/sme-retirement-allowance-act/suppl-3501-40/art-5/par-2</sup>

In this case, the phrases "Article 10, paragraph (2) of the New Act (for a person falling under the provisions of the preceding Article, that Article; the same applies hereinafter)" and "Article 10, paragraph (2) of the New Act" in that paragraph are deemed to be replaced with "Article 13, paragraph (4) of the New Act".
