Application tips
section_content: To make the application process as smooth as possible, please check all your
information is correct before you submit your application, including:

your contact details
the amount you request – your current balance through your fund’s online portal to ensure your request is based on the latest available balance.
your Australian bank account details – only Australian bank accounts are accepted.

You can only submit one application for COVID-19 early release of super per
financial year.
You can't access your super early for a dependant. If your dependant is
financially affected by COVD-19, they must apply themselves.
An application can't be withdrawn or cancelled once it has been submitted. If
you no longer want the release of your super, you will need to contact your
fund. If the bank account you provided on your application form is incorrect,
contact your super fund urgently to correct it.
If you notice another error in your application after you have submitted it,
you need to contact us as soon as possible to see if we can fix the error.

Current super balance
section_content: We encourage you to check your fund's online portal to confirm your current
accurate balance. Your current super balance may be lower or higher than what
is shown in the application form. The amount shown in the form is the amount
last reported to us and your fund does not need to report your current balance
to us.
You can apply for an amount higher than the balance shown in the application
form (up to $10,000), provided your current balance is sufficient. This
includes if a 'nil' amount is showing in the application form. For example, if
you've confirmed your fund balance is $8,000, but the amount showing in ATO
online is $0.00 you can still apply for a release up to $8,000.
If you apply for an amount greater than your current balance, your fund will
release the amount currently available (up to $10,000). For example, if you
request $8,000, but your current balance is only $7500 your fund will release
$7500.
