The Role of Social Media in Superannuation Claims

Understanding the impact of your social media interactions on your superannuation claim is vital. Claimsplus Lawyers emphasises the importance of knowing how these digital footprints are perceived and evaluated during the claims process.

Critical Points to Consider with Social Media and Claims:

  • Insurer's Evaluation: Your public social media content, such as posts, photos, and interactions, might be examined by superannuation funds and insurers. This scrutiny is part of their assessment to validate the legitimacy of your claim.
  • Alignment with Claim Details: The information portrayed on your social media should be consistent with your claim. Disparities, especially related to health conditions or physical activities, could compromise the claim's integrity.
  • Privacy Matters: While insurers typically review publicly available social media content, they are expected to respect privacy boundaries and not access private information without consent. Nonetheless, every public post can potentially influence your claim.
  • Careful Online Posting: Caution is advised when posting on social media, particularly during the claim assessment period. Content related to health conditions or activities could inadvertently affect the outcome of your claim.
