98. Every employee who, in accordance with section 13 or 215.0.0.1.1, elects to become a member of this plan, or every person who participates in this plan under the third paragraph of section 10.1 except, in the latter case, where he makes the election provided for, shall be credited, for pension purposes, with the years or parts of a year of service credited under the Civil Service Superannuation Plan or the Teachers Pension Plan if his contributions have not been reimbursed to him.
In all other cases, the employee may be credited, for pension purposes, with the years and parts of a year of service credited under the Civil Service Superannuation Plan or the Teachers Pension Plan if his contributions have not been reimbursed to him, if he is not a pensioner under either of those plans, if he ceases to be a member of either of those plans before 1 January 1991 and if he is a member of this plan before that date. Notwithstanding the fact that no application to that effect has been made by the employee, the years and parts of a year of service shall be credited to him upon computation of any pension unless he gives written notice to the contrary before the pension is paid. However, where an application is made for the statement referred to in section 122.1, the Commission shall assess the benefits accumulated under this plan and, where applicable, shall pay the sums awarded to the spouse taking into account such years and parts of a year of service.
Where an employee is not covered by the first or second paragraph, the years and parts of a year of service shall be added, for the purposes of eligibility only for any pension, to the service credited to him under this plan, provided he has not received or is not entitled to a refund of his contributions under the Civil Service Superannuation Plan or the Teachers Pension Plan and provided he is not a pensioner under either of those plans when he ceases to be a member of this plan.
