SOUTHERN STATE SUPERANNUATION ACT 2009 (NO 27 OF 2009) - SECT 18

18—Payment of benefits

        (1)         A payment to be made under this Act to or on behalf of a member or spouse member, or to another person who has an entitlement to the payment of a benefit or other amount with respect to a superannuation interest, must be made by the Treasurer out of the Consolidated Account (which is appropriated to the necessary extent) or out of a special deposit account established by the Treasurer for that purpose.

        (2)         If the payment includes an amount standing to the credit of a contribution account, a rollover account or a co-contribution account, an amount equal to the amount of the payment is to be charged against the appropriate account and the Treasurer must reimburse the Consolidated Account or special deposit account by charging the Fund with that amount.

        (3)         If the payment includes an invalidity or death insurance benefit, the Consolidated Account or special deposit account is to be reimbursed with the amount of the benefit by charging it against the Fund.

        (4)         If, on the invalidity or death of a member who was a police officer, an amount greater than the aggregate of the balance of the member's contribution account and an insurance benefit (if any) is payable by way of benefits under the regulations to or in respect of the member, the amount payable will be taken, for the purposes of this section, to include the balance of the contribution account and the insurance benefit (if any).

        (5)         This section does not apply in relation to a payment to be made to a person in connection with an investment service or some other product or service provided by the Board pursuant to regulations made under section 30(2)(g).
