You can file a claim for superannuation in Adelaide under the following:
Total and Permanent Disability (TPD)
If an illness or injury has resulted in complete or partial disability and made you unable to work, you may be liable to a large payment as part of your TPD insurance.
Based on the terms of your insurance, your disability may be defined as:
- Being unable to work in ‘your’ occupation
- Being unable to work in ‘any’ occupation
The amount you are liable to receive will depend on the terms and conditions of your TPD insurance.
Income Protection
If you are temporarily unable to work due to an illness or injury, then you may be liable to get ‘monthly salaried benefits’ under the Income Protection Insurance scheme. This means the employee will receive a monthly income for the duration they cannot work.
Typically, an employee is paid about 75% of their pre-disability income as part of this scheme. But the amount may differ based on the terms of the policy. There might also be a minimum waiting period before they start receiving the monthly payments.
Death/Terminal Illness Benefit
Certain companies also include a life insurance policy for their employees within their superannuation funds. In the case of an unexpected death or a terminal illness, the employer has to pay the balance amount remaining in their superannuation account to the listed beneficiary of the employee – usually their spouse or children. This lump sum payment can help the family manage critical expenses like house mortgage and other bills.
