A member's benefit in a regulated superannuation fund that is not an unfunded public sector superannuation scheme must be cashed if the trustee of the fund receives a request from the member and the following conditions are met:
• if the member's withdrawal benefit in the fund is less than $5,000, the trustee has received:
(a) a copy of a visa, or evidence of a visa, showing that the member was the holder of an eligible temporary resident visa that has expired or has been cancelled; and
(b) a copy of the member's passport showing that he/she has departed Australia;
• if the member's withdrawal benefit in the fund is at least $5,000, the trustee must be satisfied, based on a written statement from the Department of Immigration and Multicultural and Indigenous Affairs, that: (a) the member was the holder of an eligible temporary resident visa that has expired or has been cancelled; and (b) the member has permanently departed Australia (SISR reg 6.20A).
Where the above conditions are met, the benefits must be cashed:
• in the following period:
— within three months after a request is lodged (for requests received by 31 October 2002), or within 28 days after the request is lodged; and
• as a single lump sum that is at least the amount of the member's withdrawal benefit in the fund; or
• if the fund receives any combination of contributions, transfers and roll-overs after cashing the benefits, in a way that ensures that an amount that is at least the amount of the member's withdrawal benefit is cashed without requiring an additional application from the member.
An ''eligible temporary resident visa'' means a visa of one of the subclasses mentioned in SIS Regulations Sch 1A within the meaning of Pt 2 of Sch 1 to the Migration Regulations 1994. For the ways of giving evidence of a visa, see reg 2.17 of the Migration Regulations 1994.
