Appointment to Pensions Appeal Panel and Appeal Panel on Government's Voluntary Contributions under Civil Service Provident Fund Scheme

******************************************************************************************

     The Government announced today (November 1) that the Chief Executive has re-appointed Mr Henry Wu King-cheong as a member of the Pensions Appeal Panel (PAP) and the Appeal Panel on Government's Voluntary Contributions under the Civil Service Provident Fund Scheme (APGVC) for a term of three years with effect from November 9, 2019.

     As a statutory body established under the Pension Benefits Ordinance, the PAP is responsible for advising the Chief Executive on petitions made by civil servants against decisions to cancel, suspend, reduce or refuse to grant pension benefits. On the other hand, the APGVC is an administrative panel set up to tender advice to the Chief Executive on representations made by civil servants against decisions to forfeit or recover their accrued benefits attributable to government voluntary contributions under the Civil Service Provident Fund Scheme.

     Mr Walter Chan Kar-lok is convenor-cum-member, while Miss Elaine Chan Wing-yi is the other serving member, of the two appeal panels.
