If I’m retired or unemployed with no contributions, do I get the HK$6,000?
Yes. Anyone holding a qualifying account on or before 23 February 2011 — active or preserved — got the injection. No current contributions were needed.
Do ORSO members qualify?
Yes, with a qualifying account on or before 23 February 2011. But they needed a separate MPF account to receive the injection.
Can ORSO members who leave before 65 take the HK$6,000 early?
No. It follows MPF rules — usable only after 65. The injection sits in that separate MPF account under the same lock.
When did the injection arrive?
Injection was expected to start within 2011-12. Compare MPF funds to understand your accounts.
