I-SASSA — Imibuzo Ebuzwa Kaninzi

I-SASSA ithatha iinyanga ezi-3 (iintsuku eziyi-90) ukucubungula isicelo sesibonelelo. Ngesibonelelo se-SRD, imvume inokuba ngokukhawuleza — ngezikhathi ngaphakathi kwamasonto amabini. Ufumana i-SMS xa isigqibo senziwa. Ukuba yandisiwe, uneentsuku eziyi-90 ukuphikisa kwiofisi ye-SASSA ekufutshane nawe.

Hayi — awukwazi ukufumana izibonelelo ze-UIF nesibonelelo se-SRD R370 ngaxeshanye. I-SRD ingabantu abangafumani i-UIF. Kodwa, ungafumana izibonelelo zabantu abadala, inkxaso yabantwana, okanye ezokukhubazeka kunye ne-UIF — ezo zivavanyelwa ngeemfuno zazo.

Izizathu eziqhelekileyo zokulandwa kwe-SRD: ingeniso engaphezulu kuka-R624/enyanga efunyenwe kumarekhodi webhanki, ufumana i-UIF okanye i-NSFAS, i-ID yakho ayikwazanga ukuqinisekiswa, okanye inombolo yefowuni ayifani ne-ID yakho. Phikisa ku-srd.sassa.gov.za ngaphakathi kweentsuku eziyi-90.

Incika esibonelelweni. Nge-SRD R370: okugqithileyo u-R624/enyanga. Ngesibonelelo sabantu abadala: abafaki-sicelo abangashadeliyo ukuya ku-R8,990/enyanga. Ngenkxaso yabantwana: ingeniso yomenzi ngaphantsi kuka-R5,000/enyanga (ongashadeliyo) okanye u-R10,000/enyanga (oshadileyo). Hlala ubhengeza ingeniso yakho yonke — i-SASSA iyathelekisa ne-SARS neebhanki.
