Cessation of Students' Pensions

The pension in respect of a child is payable until the child reaches age 16. The pension is payable beyond this age until age 25, provided the child is a full-time student at a school, college or university and is not engaged in any work on his or her own account.

When you lodged your income tax return for 1998-99, the Australian Taxation Office may have asked you to provide your Tax File Number to your superannuation administrator.

Most former members have already done this. However, If you are unsure whether you have done this, have a look on your 1999 group certificate. If you have already told us your Tax File Number, it will be shown in a box in the top right-hand corner of the group certificate.
