Yes, as an outcome of the Benefits Exchange - Inward service, an insured's previous service period which was covered by a pension authority/fund - other than GPSSA, will auto-merge with the new service period that will be covered by GPSSA, to enable an insured's service period to be considered continuous.

Please note however, the cost of this will be shouldered by the previous pension authority/fund and the employer (if applicable) that the insured was previously associated with. Payment must be made in full to GPSSA for the service request to be approved by GPSSA.
