Limits on Early Super Release

Understanding Withdrawal Limits for Medical-Related Early Super Release 

If you're considering accessing your superannuation early due to medical reasons, it's important to understand the limitations set by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). Claimsplus Lawyers provides an informative guide to help you comprehend the withdrawal boundaries.

Defined Limits for Early Superannuation Access:

• For Individuals Below Preservation Age plus 39 weeks: If you're under this age bracket, you can withdraw a minimum of $1,000 and up to a maximum of $10,000 from your superannuation. Should your super balance be below $1,000, you're allowed to withdraw the entire remaining balance after tax. It's crucial to note that only one withdrawal per 12-month period is permitted.
• For Those Who Have Reached Preservation Age plus 39 weeks: Individuals who have attained this age and meet the necessary conditions face no specific withdrawal amount restrictions.

Steps in the Application Process:

1. Specifying Withdrawal Amounts: When applying for early release on medical grounds, clearly state the amount you wish to withdraw, keeping the ATO's limits in mind.
2. Application Assessment: The ATO will review your application, evaluating the requested amount against their set limits and the medical evidence you provide.

Seeking Financial Advice:

• Importance of Professional Guidance: Withdrawing superannuation funds early can have significant implications on your financial future and retirement planning. Consulting with a financial advisor or the ATO is recommended to understand the potential impacts on your superannuation balance and to consider other financial solutions.
