  "short_title": "Superannuation (Local Government and Overseas Employment) Interchange 1969",
  "long_title": "The Rules replace, and extend, the Superannuation (Local Government and Overseas Employment) Interchange Rules 1958 and 1961. These enable pensionable employees of local authorities who take up certain overseas appointments of a public nature to preserve the benefit of the pension rights which accrued during their local government employment. These rights are, in effect, frozen during the overseas employment. Advantage may be taken of them as follows:— when the person concerned retires from his overseas appointment, he can receive a local government pension (but at a reduced rate if he retires and claims his pension before the appropriate retiring age in local government);if he returns to local government pensionable employment, from his overseas appointment, he can reckon his previous local government service for pension purposes as though there had been no break in his local government employment;if he becomes disabled or dies before becoming entitled to his local government pension under the Rules, payment can be made of a disability pension, widow's pension or death benefit.",
