Practice question
A worker simultaneously holds covered public and private employment and lacks independent eligibility for the relevant benefit. The administrator rejects totalization solely because there was no sequential transfer between sectors. All other conditions are assumed satisfied. Which reading is correct?
- Section 3 also covers employment in both sectors; absence of a sequential transfer is not that categorical bar
- Only sequential transfer can ever qualify
- Simultaneous membership automatically voids all contributions
- Both employments must be terminated without benefits
- The administrator may ignore the express alternative wording
