Hi there, in 2017 I asked BT Super for Life to payout the remaining funds in my super account with them (it wasn't much, it was just less than $100). The main portion had already been transferred to our SMSF.


They provided a cheque in August 2017. Unfortunately, this check was sent to my accountant who took some time to forward it to me. And clearly I just filed it into "Items to read later". Well... just last week I found the uncashed cheque.


I reached out to BT (now owned by Mercer), and asked them to re-issue the cheque. Today I received a strange email from them saying:

"Thank you for your recent inquiry with Mercer super regarding your historical BT super account.


Unfortunately we are unable to reissue the cheque of $99.37 which was issued in 2017 as this amount has already been rolled out to Australian Taxation Office on 19/07/2022.


We recommend you to contact ATO regarding this matter.


Mercer Historical Administration Team"


I attempted to contact you via the Lost Super line, and could not get past the IVR.


Can you please help

Hey @Boydo,


If you're having trouble contacting the lost super team, there are other ways that you can see if you have any ATO-held super. You can do this by logging into online services (MyGov) and accessing the ATO.


If you can't see any super that we're holding on your behalf, then you can have us do a search for your lost super by submitting the lost super payment form.
