Claiming your super benefit if you're a temporary resident
|
Temporary residents whose visas have expired or been cancelled are able to claim their benefit from UniSuper as a lump sum once they have permanently departed Australia. If the benefit is not claimed within six months of departing Australia, the benefit becomes `unclaimed money’ and UniSuper must pay it to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Temporary residents can then claim super benefits directly from the ATO.
If a temporary resident’s benefit is transferred to the ATO, UniSuper will not provide the member with an exit statement. However, members can contact UniSuper to receive information about the transfer that will enable them to apply to the ATO to claim their benefit.
