Where the legislation of Japan requires for entitlement to dis- ability benefits or survivors bene- fits (except lump-sum payments under the Japanese pension systems specified in paragraph 1(a) of Article 2 on account of death) that the date of the first medical examination or of death lies within specified periods of coverage, this requirement shall be deemed to be fulfilled for the purpose of establishing entitle- ment to those benefits if such a date lies within the periods of coverage under the legislation of Sweden.

ska den beh�riga institutionen i den

Disability Benefits and Survivors

Benefits

N�r det enligt japansk lagstiftning
kr�vs att datumet f�r den f�rsta
l�karunders�kningen eller d�dsfallet
infaller under specifika f�rs�krings-
perioder f�r att r�tt till invaliditets-
f�rm�ner eller efterlevandef�rm�ner
ska f�religga (med undantag f�r
eng�ngsutbetalningar

enligt

japanska pensionssystem som anges
i artikel 2.1 a i fr�ga om d�dsfall),
ska detta krav anses vara uppfyllt i
fr�ga om f�rv�rvande av r�tt till
dessa f�rm�ner om detta datum in-
faller inom f�rs�kringsperioderna
enligt svensk lagstiftning.

Where the legislation of Japan
requires for entitlement to dis-
ability benefits or survivors bene-
fits (except lump-sum payments
under the Japanese pension
systems specified in paragraph
1(a) of Article 2 on account of
death) that the date of the first
medical examination or of death
lies within specified periods of
coverage, this requirement shall
be deemed to be fulfilled for the
purpose of establishing entitle-
ment to those benefits if such a
date lies within the periods of
coverage under the legislation of
Sweden.

Om r�tt till invaliditetsf�rm�ner

eller efterlevandef�rm�ner (med
undantag f�r eng�ngsutbetalningar
enligt de japanska pensionssystem
som anges i artikel 2.1 a p� grund av
d�dsfall) enligt den nationella pen-

till�mpas i syfte att f�rv�rva r�tt till
invaliditetsf�rm�ner eller efterlev-

i artikel 2.1 a i fr�ga om d�dsfall)
baserat p� samma f�rs�kringsh�n-

However, if entitlement to dis-

ability benefits or survivors bene-
fits (except lump-sum payments
under the Japanese pension
systems specified in paragraph
1(a) of Article 2 on account of
death) under the National Pension
is established without applying
this Article, this Article shall not

Ber�kning av f�rm�nsbelopp

Calculation of the Amount of

har fastst�llts med st�d av artikel 13
eller artikel 15 ska den beh�riga in-
stitutionen i Japan ber�kna f�rm�ns-
beloppet i enlighet med japansk
lagstiftning, med f�rbeh�ll f�r punk-
terna 24 i denna artikel.

1. Where entitlement to a

Japanese benefit is established by
virtue of Article 13 or Article 15,
the competent institution of Japan
shall calculate the amount of that
benefit in accordance with the

SFS

2021:989

legislation of Japan, subject to
paragraphs 2 to 4 of this Article.

2. N�r det g�ller grundpension i

form av invaliditetspension och
andra f�rm�ner vilkas belopp �r en
fast summa oavsett f�rs�krings-
grundande period ska, om kraven f�r
att erh�lla s�dana f�rm�ner har upp-
fyllts med st�d av artikel 13 eller
artikel 15, det beviljade beloppet
ber�knas proportionerligt utifr�n
summan av avgiftsperioder och
premiebefriade perioder enligt det
pensionssystem fr�n vilka s�dana
f�rm�ner betalas ut, i f�rh�llande till
summan av dessa avgiftsperioder,
dessa premiebefriade perioder och
de f�rs�kringsperioderna enligt
svensk lagstiftning.

2. With regard to the Disability

Basic Pension and other benefits,
the amount of which is a fixed
sum granted regardless of the
period of coverage, if the re-
quirements for receiving such
benefits are fulfilled by virtue of
Article 13 or Article 15, the
amount to be granted shall be
calculated according to the pro-
portion of the sum of the periods
of contribution and the premium-
exempted periods under the
pension system from which such
benefits will be paid to the sum of
those periods of contribution,
those premium-exempted periods
and the periods of coverage under
the legislation of Sweden.

japansk lagstiftning n�r f�rs�krings-
perioderna enligt pensionsf�rs�k-
ringen f�r anst�llda �r kortare �n den
angivna perioden, ska f�rm�nsbe-
loppet, om kraven f�r att erh�lla
s�dana f�rm�ner �r uppfyllda med
st�d av artikel 13 eller artikel 15,
ber�knas proportionerligt utifr�n
f�rs�kringsperioderna enligt pen-
sionsf�rs�kringen f�r anst�llda, i f�r-
h�llande till summan av dessa f�r-
s�kringsperioder och f�rs�krings-
perioder enligt svensk lagstiftning.
N�r summan av f�rs�kringsperio-
derna �verskrider den angivna perio-
den ska denna summa av f�rs�k-
ringsperioder betraktas som likst�lld
med den angivna perioden.

3. With regard to disability

benefits and survivors benefits
under the Employees Pension
Insurance, insofar as the amount
of those benefits to be granted is
calculated on the basis of the
specified period determined by the
legislation of Japan when the
periods of coverage under the
Employees Pension Insurance are
less than that specified period, if
the requirements for receiving
such benefits are fulfilled by
virtue of Article 13 or Article 15,
the amount to be granted shall be
calculated according to the pro-
portion of the periods of coverage
under the Employees Pension
Insurance to the sum of the
periods of coverage and the
periods of coverage under the
legislation of Sweden. However,
when the sum of the periods of
coverage exceeds that specified
period, that sum of the periods of
coverage shall be regarded as
equal to that specified period.

fastst�llts i japansk lagstiftning, ska
f�rm�nsbeloppet, om kraven f�r att
