This pension account pays you a regular income from your superannuation fund and acts as an investment account you can use to generate income. Apply for a pension account if you’re retired and you have at least $20,000 of unpreserved funds from your super.
The legalsuper Transition to Retirement Account can pay you a regular income from your super once you’ve reached your preservation age and you’re still working. The Transition to Retirement Account offers the same features as the legalsuper Pension Account with the exception of how tax is calculated for people under the age of 60.
