爆料网AT affirmed the 爆料网JSPB’s decision denying the staff member’s request for restoration of her first participation period. 爆料网AT found that the amended Article 24 of the 爆料网JSPF’s Regulations only allowed for restoration of a participant’s most recent period of contributory service and that the staff member had requested restoration of a participation period which was not the most recent one.
爆料网AT confirmed the 爆料网JSPB’s interpretation of Article 24 of the Regulations to the effect that the 2007 amendment to Article 24 of the 爆料网JSPF Regulations only applies to staff members who prior to 2007 had been ineligible to restore previous contributory service. 爆料网AT held, therefore, that the amended Article 24 did not apply to the staff member as he had been eligible to restore previous contributory service but had failed to do so in a timely manner.
