How do I create a Death Benefit pension when the deceased member is outside the SMSF?
Resolution
Navigate to Fund Level > Transactions > Member Income > Rollover in
- Record the Cash receipt from the death benefit
The preservation component should be 100% Unrestricted Non-Preserved.
Navigate to Fund Level > Members > Browse Members
- Click on Add New Pension Account
- Select the Beneficiary from drop-down list to Member
- Select the relevant Pension Type
- Enter the Account Name
- Enter the Date of Death (also should be the Rollover In date) into the Start Date field
- Click on Activate
- From the Pension detail page, click on Establish this Pension Account
- From the pop-up screen, select "Withdrawal Of Unrestricted Amount" as the Condition of Release.
For beneficiary who has not met the full condition of release
- Class will populate the amount sitting under Unrestricted Non-preserved Amount into the Establishment Balance tab
- Click on Save
Beneficiary has already met the full condition of release
- Choose "Partial" in the Payment Type field
