SASSA has arranged a way to appeal for applicants whose 350 SRD grant has been declined due to UIF registration. This is how you can go about processing your appeal instead of visiting the labour department.
According to sassacheckapp.com the best time to make SASSA appeal is right after rejection, if you are going through rejection, make sure you appeal first before you go for a reapply which can be performed multiple time with improved requirements.
You must carefully go through the objection letter that SASSA sends you, in this letter you will know the potential reasons due to which your application is rejected by authorities. Making an appeal, you must be very careful about the mistakes you made in the previous application.
If still your appeal keeps on declining, you can wait for a month or two to go for a reapplication, but make sure you reapply from zero with proper research and better requirements and documents management.
According to previous SASSA application data, the more transparent you are in showing casing your personal details and information the higher the chances of application approval, so always keep this factor in mind whenever you are appealing or applying from scratch for a grant.
Visit https://srd.sassa.gov.za and provide the following information:
- Identity Number or Department of Home Affairs Refugee permit number
- Name and Surname as captured in the Identity Document
- Gender and Disability
- Contact details - Cell phone number
- Residential Address
You will also have to sign a declaration and consent form confirming the validity of the information you have provided, as it will be shared with other organisations and financial institutions such as SARS and banks. A detailed declaration and consent document is available on the website.
Applicants will also have to confirm their existing application once via the Sassa website or the WhatsApp number: 082 046 8553.
Once the appeal is lodged, SASSA will verify your employment status with the UIF and the outcome will be communicated.
Applicants are also encouraged to contact SASSA on their Toll-Free number 0800 60 10 11 and not to visit labour centres for assistance on this matter.
