At the state of nations address President Cyril Ramaphosa announced the R350 special COVID-19 social relief of distress grant to be extended for another three months. The grants had been set to pause at the end of January. He also mentioned the extension until march 15 for Unemployment Insurance Fund’s Temporary Employee-Employer Scheme (TERS) only for business sectors unable to operate.
Folling the
announcement the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has advised for
grantee to apply online via their website instead of physically doing to their
offices. Senior manager of communications and marketing at Sassa, Sandy
Godlwana said there was no need for reapply for those already in the system,
and those who have been paid through the post office should get bank accounts,
and upload those details on the system.
Clients
whose applications for the Special 350 Covid-19 SRD Grant were declined, can
lodge an appeal for review on the Sassa Covid-19 portal – https://srd.sassa.gov.za
Declined
