Hi @TAG2026 - I checked some details with our FHSS subject matter experts.


Because the FHSS determination is self-assessed, it's your responsibility to ensure the info in the determination is correct before submitting it.


Whether it prefills contributions or you manually enter them - it will accept your submission, as you are signing it as true and correct. If our systems detect an issue with anything in your determination, it will possibility flag it for further checks.


In your case, it sounds like your request was fully approved but then your superfund didn't release the funds to us. One of the causes for this could be the name mismatch between ATO's records and your superfund records.


You should check which records are incorrect and make contact with the appropriate entity to correct your name to match the other.


If the incorrect name is with the Superfund records:

  • you should contact them first to correct this, and
  • only after they have confirmed the update then you can contact us to request a reissue of a new Release Authority.

If the incorrect name is in the ATO records:

  • you should contact us to update this, and
  • request the reissue of a new Release Authority.

Hi @KaraATO,

I spoke with the ATO super team, and they will escalate my case. However, it seems I’m unable to correct my name in the ATO records either online or by phone. They’ve provided a paper form that needs to be submitted by post.

As I don’t have any of the required documents (an Australian full birth certificate, change of name certificate, or marriage certificate), would it be possible to submit a certified copy of my Australian passport or Australian driver’s licence instead?


Thanks for your help.

Hi @TAG2026,


Ahh yes, there are scenarios where we can't validate certain details over the phone. In this instance posting in a change of details form to update your name is advised.


One of the options you've provided should be okay to attach when sending in a change of details form. Just remember it needs to be a certificated copy, not the original document itself, as you likely won't get it back.
