Statute overview

About this statute

This Act sets out pension contributions, family pension eligibility, notice duties, and record-keeping for covered public servants and contributors. Widows and children living outside the Federation must periodically provide proof to the Directors, and pension payments can be withheld until the proof is accepted. The Act also limits pension rights for adopted children in some cases and makes pensions non-transferable. This table sets pension amounts for officers, with different figures based on the officer’s and wife’s next-birthday ages. This provision extends the pension enactment back to 1 April 1946, repeals the earlier ordinance, sets transitional rules for public servants, defines “salary,” and gives transferred Palestine officers a special lump-sum payment option.
