Income Stream investors update

Extension to existing Income Stream minimum drawdown amounts in 2022-23

In response to COVID-19, the Federal Government passed legislation in 2020 to halve the minimum pension drawdown rates on account-based super pensions. This impacted Super SA’s Income Stream investors. The Federal Government announced in the latest budget that these minimum drawdown rates will be extended for the 2022-23 financial year. Payments will be based on the investor’s account balance as at 1 July 2022.

Those investors who previously nominated to receive the minimum drawdown amount, will continue to have this applied from 1 July 2022.

If an investor wishes to change their nominated payment amount, they will need to update their payment details via the Income Stream Payment Details section of the Member Portal. Changes will be processed in the next applicable pay period.
 
Investors will receive confirmation of their new payment amount once their account has been updated.

Changes to payment pay date for Income Stream investors in June 2022

If you are a Super SA Income Stream investor, your monthly payment for June will be made before the scheduled payment due date. This is due to our system upgrade over the June long weekend.

Members receiving Income Stream (IS) payments will be paid the following date:

All payments will then return to their regular scheduled payment dates.

There are no changes to the payment process date for all other Super SA regular payments.

The date your payments are available in your bank account is affected by your bank’s processing schedules and times.
