If you were retired and are now re-employed for 6 months or longer, you will automatically become a participant of the Fund once again and payment of your benefit will be suspended.
When you separate from this re-employment, payment of your previous benefit will resume but you will not receive any additional retroactive payment for the period during which your benefit was suspended. You may opt for a withdrawal settlement or a second periodic benefit in regard to your re-employment and second period of participation, even if the period of additional employment was for less than 5 years.
If you are re-employed on a contract of six months or longer by a member organization of the Fund, or after being employed for a total of six months of service without an interruption of more than thirty days, you will normally become a participant of the UNJSPF once again and payment of your monthly benefit will be suspended. When you separate from this re-employment, payment of your benefit resumes, but you will not receive any retroactive payment for the period during which your benefit was suspended. As a result of this second period of participation you may either opt for a withdrawal settlement or a second periodic benefit, even if the period of additional participation was for less than five years.
If your benefit has been suspended upon re-employment, you should advise the UNJSPF as soon as your contract has expired and provide the Fund with a copy of your separation personnel action form and separation notification form, PF4. You should also advise the UNJSPF as to the election of your second entitlement on form PENS.E/8 if this participation was for less than 5 years, or on form PENS. E/7 for 5 years or more additional contributory service.
