Part 4—Transitional

6—Transitional provision

  1. Subject to subregulation (2), for the purpose of the definition of M in the formulas in Part 4 of the Act the 12 months from 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993 will be taken to be 12 months of the contributor's contribution period and consequently it is not appropriate that the contributor (or the spouse or some other person in respect of the contributor) be entitled to a benefit as a (or in respect of the contributor as a) section 4(6) member under the Superannuation (Benefit Scheme) Act 1992 for the period from 1 July 1992 to 30 June 1993 and accordingly section 7(2) of that Act does not apply in relation to a contributor named in the Schedule.

  2. If a contributor (or the contributor's spouse or some other person) claims a benefit under the Superannuation (Benefit Scheme) Act 1992 as a section 4(6) member (or in respect of the contributor as a section 4(6) member) under that Act, benefits payable to, or in relation to, the contributor under the Superannuation Act 1988 will be reduced by basing the definition of M in the formula used to calculate the benefits on the number of months of the contributor's contribution period occurring after 30 June 1993.
