CHILD INCOME ACCOUNT
Protect your child’s financial future with a BUSSQ Child Income account.
BUSSQ is one of only a few super funds that provides a Child Income account product, which in the event of your death, allows your dependant children to be paid the balance of your super account.
In the event of your death, the Child Income account will be opened, and regular payments to your child or children will then begin based on the options you choose.
Payments will continue until the money in the account runs out, or the child turns 18 when they must have the balance of their Child Income account paid to them as a cash lump sum, unless continuing to live with the primary carer and studying full time until they reach age 25.
The benefits of a BUSSQ Child Income account:
- Pays a regular income to your child’s primary carer to help with your child’s living expenses.
- Does not impact government assistance or support available to your child’s primary carer.
- Boosts the account balance with BUSSQ’s Headstart Bonus payment.
More information is available in our Protect your child's financial future fact sheet and in the Child Income account Terms and Conditions.
