New online form to find lost super

New online form to find lost super

A new electronic form will improve the process for consolidating lost superannuation accounts. The new process will enable members to search for lost super using the ATO's SuperSeeker, fill in a simple form and arrange to consolidate their super online. An identity verification process will be applied by the ATO using information supplied by the member.

The new process will make it simpler and easier for people to consolidate their lost super.

The regulations supporting this measure are not yet finalised.
