In accordance with the Social Assistance Act and its regulations, beneficiaries are legally required to disclose all sources of income during their initial application fully. They are also obligated to inform SASSA of any changes to their financial cicumstances after their application has been approved. Failure to comply with these requirements constitutes a violation of the Act and may result in corrective action.
Affected Beneficiaries’ Payments To Be Delayed
Furthermore, SASSA announced that individuals affected by this investigation will have their June payments delayed. They should also visit their nearest SASSA office for a review within 30 days from the date the notice was posted.
All beneficiaries who fail to comply with this process risk having their grants suspended. If they continue not to comply, they will risk having their grants permanently cancelled.
This initiative is aimed at ensuring that beneficiaries confirm any changes in the financial circumstances of the beneficiaries and for them to update their personal details. It also seeks to address potential inclusion errors in the current social security system.
