For permanent employees:

Summary:
1. Check your super account
2. Work out how much you're owed in super
3. Split the claim (before & after 21 Aug)
4. Submit/update claims with J.S.
5. Lodge "super shortfall" forms with ATO.

Elaboration:
You should log into your super account (or phone them up and make an
enquiry) and check for any Mobilesoft payments after 1 July 2007, and
then update your claims.

I wouldn't trust the Jirsch Sutherland calculations - check your super
accounts and work it out at 9% of salary.

The super claim needs to be split: super before 21 August and super
earned on/after that ("Before" and "After"). The Before super (earned
before 21 August 2007) goes on your claim form (according to Michael
Chan), but the After super IS A CLAIM AGAINST THE ADMINISTRATORS
(Personally) - it does NOT go on the claim form.

I recommend sending a normal email or letter for the After amount, and
also you can lodge a "shortfall in super" form with the Tax Office - I
would do this twice - Before and After.

If it's anything like mine, you should have got a payment about 1
August, which covered the period May-June, but there wouldn't have
been any further payments.

One thing to note is that super is worked on salary, and annual leave
that you took while your employment continued, but is not worked on
redundancy, cashed-up annual leave, or payment-in-lieu-of-notice.
It's worked at 9%. If you're unsure, you can check your calculations
for May-June against what you got.

The other thing is that super for the period 1 July - 30 Sept was due
on 28 Oct 2007 - given that they haven't paid, the super would now
normally be paid to the Tax Office as an SGC payment - lodging the
forms with the Tax Office will hopefully give you some visibility
if/when they do pay. But I'd also keep an eye on your super accounts
(at MLC or wherever).
