I-SASSA — Imibuzo Ejwayelekile

I-SASSA ivamise ukuthatha izinyanga ezi-3 (izinsuku ezingama-90) ukucubungula isicelo sesibonelelo. Ngesibonelelo se-SRD, ukugunyazwa kungaba ngokushesha — ngezinye izikhathi ngaphakathi kwamaviki amabili. Uthola i-SMS lapho sekwenziwe isinqumo. Uma inqatshiwe, unezinsuku ezingama-90 wokuphikisa ehhovisi le-SASSA elineduze nawe.

Cha — awukwazi ukuthola izinzuzo ze-UIF nesibonelelo se-SRD R370 ngasikhathi sinye. I-SRD ingabantu abangatholi i-UIF. Nokho, ungathola izibonelelo zabantu abadala, usizo lwabantwana, noma ezokukhubazeka kanye ne-UIF — lezo zihlolwa ngezidingo zazo.

Izizathu ezivamile zokunikelwa kwe-SRD: ingeniso engaphezulu kuka-R624/nyanga etholakale emarekhodi webhange, uthola i-UIF noma i-NSFAS, i-ID yakho ayikwazanga ukuqinisekiswa, noma inombolo yocingo ayifani ne-ID yakho. Phikisa ku-srd.sassa.gov.za ngaphakathi kwezinsuku ezingama-90.

Kuncike esibonelelweni. Nge-SRD R370: okuningi u-R624/inyanga. Ngesibonelelo sabantu abadala: abafakisicelo abangaxakananga kuya ku-R8,990/inyanga. Ngosizo lwabantwana: ingeniso yomunakekeli ngaphansi kuka-R5,000/inyanga (abangaxakananga) noma u-R10,000/inyanga (abashadile). Mkhomba njalo ingeniso yakho yonke — i-SASSA iyaqhathanisa ne-SARS namabhange.
