(b) (i) Ní íocfar níos mó den liúntas, in aghaidh aon tréimhse sonraithe a bheifear ag fáil na híocaíochta, ná an méid is ionann, ar an íocaíocht a chur leis, agus an luach saothair a gheobhadh an pinsinéir in aghaidh na tréimhse sin dá mba rud é, i gcaitheamh na tréimhse sin—
(I) go raibh sé i seilbh na hoifige inar fhónaigh sé an lá deiridh dá sheirbhís inphinsin, ach
(II) go raibh luach saothair á fháil aige de réir an ráta luach saothair (lena n-áirítear airgead-luach sochar oifige (mar atá, aon seomraí ciondálacha nó forliúntais eile in earraí), más ann) a bhí á fháil aige an lá sin, faoi réir an choinníll, áfach, más rud é gur tharla athruithe (nó, má tá an oifig sin tar éis scor de bheith ann go dtarlódh athruithe dá mba nár scoir sí de bheith ann) sa ráta sin, go mbeidh an ráta sin le háireamh mar ráta a athraíodh tríd an oiread a bheidh sonraithe de na hathruithe sin a chur i gcuntas.

(b) go bhfuil an oiliúint agus an taithí sin ag an duine atá á athfhostú, gur chun na hoibre sin atá sé á athfhostú agus go bhfuil sé oiriúnach ar gach dóigh eile lena athfhostú, agus
(c) nach féidir freastal ar an riachtanas sin ar dhóigh seachas trí phinsinéirí a athfhostú.
(4) Beidh éifeacht ag na forálacha roimhe seo den alt seo agus ag an aisghairm a dhéantar le halt 8 den Acht seo ar alt 20 den Superannuation Act, 1834, faoi réir an choinníll nach mbeidh feidhm acu maidir le duine lena raibh, i gcaitheamh na tréimhse idir tosach feidhme an Achta seo nó aon choda de agus dáta a rite, liúntas bliantúil i modh aoisliúntais nó cúitimh iníoctha faoi na hAchtanna Aoisliúntas, 1834 go 1963 (gan alt 28 den Acht Aoisliúntas agus Pinsean, 1963, a chur san áireamh) agus a bhí, i gcaitheamh na tréimhse sin nó na coda sin, ag fáil íocaíochta (lena n-áirítear airgead-luach sochar oifige (mar atá, aon seomraí, ciondálacha nó forliúntais eile in earraí), más ann) i leith ceapacháin sa Státseirbhís, mura gcuirfidh sé in iúl don Aire Airgeadais i scríbhinn, laistigh den tréimhse dhá mhí dhéag dar tús dáta thosach feidhme an Achta seo, gur mian leis feidhm a bheith acu maidir leis, ach má chuireann sé é sin in iúl amhlaidh beidh feidhm acu maidir leis le héifeacht amhail ó dháta an tosach feidhme sin.
