Understanding Early Super Withdrawal and Disability Insurance Impacts 

Contemplating an early withdrawal from your superannuation requires a thorough understanding of its potential consequences, especially regarding disability insurance coverage within your super. Claimsplus Lawyers offers an in-depth guide to help you navigate these considerations.

Key Aspects of Early Super Access and Disability Insurance

  • Potential Impact on Insurance Coverage: Early withdrawal from your superannuation can diminish your account balance. Since disability insurance premiums within super are typically deducted from this balance, a significant reduction might jeopardise the continuity of your insurance.
  • Risk of Coverage Lapse: A depleted super balance may fail to cover the insurance premiums, posing a risk of your disability insurance coverage lapsing. This scenario could leave you without essential disability coverage.

Strategies for Managing the Implications

  • Review Insurance Terms: It's vital to thoroughly review the conditions of your disability insurance within your superannuation. Pay attention to how premiums are managed and the minimum balance required to maintain the insurance.
  • Seek Professional Counsel: The relationship between early super withdrawal and disability insurance can be complex. Consulting with a financial advisor or your super fund is highly recommended. Their specialised knowledge can shed light on how an early withdrawal might influence your insurance coverage and assist you in making a well-informed decision.
