State Superannuation Regulations 2001

A person ceases to be a West State Super Member when —

all benefits that are or may be payable to or in respect of the person from the West State Super Scheme have been paid; or

a transfer is made to another scheme or to another superannuation fund in satisfaction of all of the person’s entitlements to benefits from the West State Super Scheme; or

the whole balance of the person’s account is paid to the Commonwealth Commissioner of Taxation in respect of the member under regulation 69AA, 69AB, 69AD or 69AE; or

the whole of the member’s benefits are included in a payment to the Commonwealth Commissioner of Taxation under regulation 79AAA; or

the Board terminates the person’s membership of the West State Super Scheme under subregulation (2).

The Board may terminate a person’s membership of the West State Super Scheme if —

the balance of the person’s west state account is reduced to zero other than in any of the circumstances mentioned in subregulation (1)(a) to (d); and

the Board reasonably believes that no further amount will be credited to the account.

A person whose membership is terminated under subregulation (2) may resume membership of the West State Super Scheme by tendering a contribution to the Fund in accordance with subregulation (4).

For the purposes of subregulation (3) a contribution —

must be of at least the minimum amount fixed by the Board for the purposes of subregulation (3); and

must be tendered within 30 days after the Board gives the member information about the termination of membership under regulation 224B.

A person who resumes membership of the West State Super Scheme under subregulation (3), is taken to have been a West State Super Member continuously since before the termination of membership.
