State Superannuation Regulations 2001

A Gold State Super Member who ceases to be a worker and immediately again becomes a worker in a different job (whether with the same or a different Employer) without a break in service is taken not to have ceased to be an eligible Gold State worker.

A person who —

ceases to be a worker; and

within 12 months again becomes a worker (whether with the same or a different Employer) who is not excluded by regulation 15(2) from being an eligible Gold State worker,

If the Board accepts an application under subregulation (2) —

the Member is taken not to have ceased to be an eligible Gold State worker; and

any benefit paid as a result of the cessation of work referred to in subregulation (2)(a) must be repaid together with interest at a rate, and calculated in a manner, determined by the Board; and

any entitlement to a benefit that has not yet been paid arising from that cessation of work, terminates.

Despite subregulation (3)(a) no contributions may be paid by or in respect of the Member for the period from the cessation of work referred to in subregulation (2)(a) to the day on which the application under subregulation (2) is accepted.
