When a member of a superannuation fund dies, the fund must pay the deceased’s death benefit, including an insured lump sum, to the appropriate person. If you were a nominated beneficiary, were dependent on the deceased, or were otherwise in a close personal relationship, you are likely to have a claim for payment.

Death benefit insurance comes with all regulated superannuation schemes, and is available to relieve financial hardship in already troublesome times.
