SURPLUS APPORTIONMENT AND DATA VERIFICATION EXERCISE (2024)

As a result of amendments to the Pension Funds Act in 2007, Bargaining Council Retirement Funds fall under the Pension Funds Act with effect from 1 January 2008.

In accordance with the provisions of the Act, the Metal Industries Provident Fund and Engineering Industries Pension Fund are required to apportion surplus funds amongst eligible stakeholders including former members of these Funds, should any surplus exist in these Funds at the Surplus Apportionment Date of 31 March 2008.

The Trustees of the Funds are also using this opportunity to trace and pay any former members who left these funds but failed to take their benefits due to them when they left.

The Trustees of the Funds therefore request anyone who is a member, a pensioner or a former member of the Funds (or their predecessor funds) to contact the Metal Industries Benefit Funds Administrators (MIBFA) to ensure that they have on record the correct contact details for all members.
