Super co-contribution

Receiving the super co-contribution

If you are entitled to a super co-contribution, you are not required to do anything to claim it. It will be paid to your fund or RSA after all of the following have occurred for a financial year:

• you have made eligible personal super contributions to your complying super fund or RSA by 30 June
• you have completed the A3 Government super contribution labels your tax return
• you have not claimed (and been allowed) a deduction for all of your personal super contributions in your tax return
• your super fund has reported your personal super contributions to us
• we have received any additional information required.

If your super co-contribution entitlement is greater than $0 and less than $20, we will pay the minimum amount of $20.

Super co-contributions cannot be paid directly to you unless either:

• you have retired, either by reaching preservation age or due to permanent incapacity or invalidity, and no longer have an eligible super account
• you are the legal representative of the account holder, who is deceased.

The preservation rules that apply to your current super entitlements also apply to the super co-contribution.

If you are eligible to receive a direct payment, you may request this payment by completing an Application for direct payment of super co-contribution (NAT 10759).

If you have made a direct claim but have not yet received your super co-contribution and you are suffering hardship as a result of the delay, you should contact us on 13 10 20 to discuss your circumstances. We can only make payments where you meet the requirements for a direct claim. To avoid delays, make sure all supporting documents are certified as true copies.
