33.1. A pension is also granted to an employee who ceases to be a member of this plan when he is 55 years of age or over and is not otherwise eligible for a pension if he applies therefor not later than 180 days after the date on which this plan ceased to apply to him.
If the employee dies, he is deemed to be eligible for a pension for the purposes of sections 43 and 46 to 46.2. The same applies where his death occurs in the 180 days following the date on which this plan ceased to apply to him, even if he had not applied for the pension.
