How can a member search for lost superannuation when a fund has wound-up?
If a person has been a member of a superannuation fund which has now closed (wound-up), they may not know the name of the fund now holding their superannuation benefit. These people should search the LMR using SuperSeeker. SuperSeeker is a tool that looks for lost superannuation and instantly provides possible matches of members with their funds. SuperSeeker can be accessed: • online at www.ato.gov.au – members will need to provide their name, date of birth and tax file number, or • by phoning the Tax Office’s self-help phone service 13 28 65 – members will be asked to quote their date of birth and tax file number. This service is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If there is no record of a member’s benefit on the LMR • If a member does not know the details of the fund and there is no record of the member’s benefit on the LMR, they may wish to contact their former employer/s for details of the superannuation fund/s into which their superannuation was paid.
