SPEC Super - generating wealth An Industry SuperFund

Effective from 18 December 2008, if you are a temporary resident and do not claim your DASP benefit within six (6) months of departing Australia and your visa has ceased to be in effect, SPEC Super may be required to transfer your superannuation benefit to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as unclaimed money.  In that case you will have to claim your DASP benefit from the ATO.

 

If SPEC Super transfers your DASP benefit to the ATO, then in accordance with relief provided by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC), SPEC Super will not issue you with an exit statement.

 

 If your DASP benefit is transferred to the ATO by SPEC Super, you may then claim your benefit directly from the ATO.  The Trustee is required to provide you with information to assit you with this, and will endeavour to do so as soon as practicable after you contact us, and in any event within 1 month from that date.

 

You can contact the ATO on +61 2 6216 1111 between 8am to 5pm Australian Eastern Standard Time, Monday to Friday or you can obtain further information by selecting the link below:
