2 MLC Superannuation Questions and answers Claiming a super or pension death benefit We answer some of your questions about claiming a super death benefit Any questions? If you have any questions please call us on between 8 am and 6 pm (AEST) Monday to Friday. How do we decide who receives a death benefit? In the absence of a valid binding nomination, the Trustee will determine who receives a Member s death benefit. To make this decision the Trustee takes into account a range of factors such as: the member s Will any nominations made by the member submissions made by potential beneficiaries, and if the Trustee isn t able to find a dependant or Legal Personal Representative, submissions made by any other person. Is the death benefit part of the member s Estate? The death benefit is only part of the member s Estate if the Trustee decides to make a payment in favour of the Estate; or if a binding death benefit nomination directs the Trustee to pay the Legal Personal Representative. Who is a potential beneficiary? Generally, a potential beneficiary can be: the member s spouse, including a de facto spouse or same sex partner the member s child (including an adopted child, stepchild, ex-nuptial child, or their spouse s child) any person with whom the member, at the time of their death, had an interdependency relationship anyone financially dependent on the member at the time of their death, or the Legal Personal Representative of the member. What s an interdependency relationship? This is when the member and another person at the time of death: a) had a close personal relationship b) were living together (unless temporarily living apart) c) one or each of them provided the other with financial support, and d) one or each of them provided the other with domestic support and personal care. It may also exist if the requirements from (b) to (d) couldn t be met because either person or both people suffered from a physical, intellectual or psychiatric disability. Who is a Legal Personal Representative? A Legal Personal Representative may be any of the following: an Executor granted Probate (where there was a Will) an Administrator who was granted Letters of Administration (where the deceased had no Will). Will there be an anti-detriment payment? An anti-detriment payment is designed to restore tax which was previously paid on contributions by the member. It is only payable if the death benefit is paid as a lump sum, or if a superannuation death benefit pension is commuted to a lump sum within six months of its commencement. The payment must be to a member s spouse, former spouse or child. This is only available for certain products, and will be automatically applied upon payment. Page 2
