Aansoek om maatskaplike

hulpverlening

Meer oor maatskaplike hulpverlening

Maatskaplike hulpverlening is tydelike hulp aan mense wat weens ernstige materiële

gebrek nie in hul gesin se mees basiese behoeftes kan voorsien nie.

Wie kan maatskaplike hulpverlening kry?

Jy kan maatskaplike hulpverlening van die staat kry as jy in ’n krisissituasie verkeer,

byvoorbeeld omdat:

• Jy vir die staat wag om jou kinders se toelaes te verwerk

• ’n Krisis of ramp plaasgevind het, soos dat jou huis afgebrand het

• Jy nie vir ’n toelae kwalifiseer nie en jou omstandighede haglik is

• Jy nie kan werk nie omdat jy tydelik medies ongeskik is – dit beteken jy is vir

minder as ses maande lank siek

• Die kind of kinders se ander ouer nie onderhoud aan jou betaal nie

• Die gesin se broodwinner gesterf het

• Die broodwinner vir ’n kort rukkie (minder as ses maande lank) tronk toe gestuur

is of

• Jy deur ’n ramp getref is, maar die gebied of gemeenskap waar jy bly nie tot

’n rampgebied verklaar is nie.

Wat kry jy?

Maatskaplike hulpverlening kan in die vorm van ’n kospakkie wees, of ’n koopbewys

om kos mee te koop. Sommige provinsies se hulp is in die vorm van kontant.

Hulpverlening word net vir ’n kort tydjie gegee – gewoonlik vir hoogstens drie maande,

en soms vir ses maande lank.

Wat om te doen

1. Doen by jou naaste kantoor vir maatskaplike ontwikkeling aansoek om

hulpverlening.

2. Gee die ingevulde aansoekvorm saam met die volgende dokumente in:

• Jou identiteitsdokument, wat ’n 13-syfer-staafkode bevat, en jou kinders

se geboortesertifikate.

• As jy nie ’n identiteitsdokument en geboortesertifikate het nie, kan jy ’n

beëdigde verklaring deur jou plaaslike polisiekantoor, hoofman, raadslid

of geestelike leier ingee.

3. Jy moet ook bewys dat:

• Jy vir ’n toelae aansoek gedoen het

• Jy ’n noodsituasie beleef (gee bv. ’n polisieverslag in wat bevestig dat

jou huis afgebrand het)

• Jy probeer het om onderhoud te kry

• Jy geen ander hulp kry nie

• Jy getroud, geskei of enkellopend is

• Jy geen inkomste het nie of

• Jy ’n korttermyn mediese ongeskiktheid het.

Tydsduur

• Jou aansoek sal dadelik verwerk word.

• Sodra jou aansoek ingedien is, sal daar gekyk word of die aansoek

geloofwaardig is en of jy hierdie diens regtig nodig het.

• Jy sal jou kospakkie, koopbewys of kontant vir die eerste maand kry, selfs al het

jy nie al die dokumente wat gevra word nie.

http://www.sassa.gov.za/

• Onthou egter om al die dokumente vir die beampte te vat voordat dit tyd is

om die tweede maand se kos of betaling te kry. As jy dit nie doen nie, kan jy

nie die tweede en derde maande se voedselpakkie, koopbewys of kontant kry

nie.

• As jy drie maande lank ’n toelae gekry het en jou omstandighede nog nie

verbeter het nie, kan jy aansoek doen om die toelae met nog drie maande te

verleng.

Hoeveel kos dit

Hierdie diens is gratis.

1. EASY-AID GUIDE FOR EMPLOYERS FOR UIF BENEFITS

The Minister of Employment and Labour has announced measures that the Department will

put in place as required under the current special circumstance relating to the Corona virus

(COVID-19) and its impact on UIF contributors.

The Unemployment Insurance Fund will compensate affected workers through a new

“National Disaster Benefit” and its existing the Illness, Reduced Work Time and Unemployment

benefits.

This new “National Disaster Benefit” and any other normal UIF benefit is only

applicable to employers who are registered with UIF and make monthly

contributions as required by the Contributions Act of 2002.

2. NATIONAL DISASTER BENEFIT :

• The employer may decide, as a direct result from the current Corona virus

(COVID-19) pandemic to close their business for a period and send employees

home. This constitutes a temporary lay-off. If the employer cannot pay his

employees for this period, the employer can apply for the “National Disaster

Benefit” from the UIF.

• This benefit will be de-linked from the UIF’s normal benefit structure and

therefore the normal rule that for every 4 days worked the employee

accumulated 1 credit day and maximum credit days payable is 365 for every 4

completed years will not apply.

• This benefit will be at a flat rate equal to the minimum wage (R3 500) per

employee for the duration of the shutdown or a maximum period of three

months, whichever period is the shortest.

• If an employee is ill, temporary lay-off or unemployed for longer than three

months, the normal UIF benefits as explained below will apply.

3. REQUIRED FORMS AND DOCUMENTS :

• UI19 and UI2.7 (completed by Employer)

• UI 2.1 (application form)

• UI 2.8 (bank form completed by the bank)

• A letter from the Employer confirming company shutdown or employee’s

“temporary lay-off” is due to the Corona Virus

• Copy of employee’s ID document

4. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT:

• This benefit will be at a flat rate equal to the minimum wage (R3 500) per

whichever period is the shortest.

• An employer or employee cannot apply for the “National Disaster Benefit” and

any other UIF benefit simultaneously.

5. REDUCED WORK TIME :

• Where a Company shuts down for a certain period or implements Reduced or

Short Time.

• Benefits payable is the difference between what employer pays and normal

UIF benefits payable should an employee lose employment.

6. REQUIRED FORMS AND DOCUMENTS:


• UI 2.1 ( application)


• A letter from the Employer confirming Reduced Work Time is due to the

Corona Virus

• Copy of ID document.

7. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT:

• For every 4 days worked the employee accumulates 1 credit day, and

maximum credits days payable is 365 for every four completed years.

• Benefits are paid as per prescribed benefits structure from 239 to 365 days.

8. ILLNESS BENEFITS :

• Where an employee has been quarantined for 14 days, Illness Benefit process

will apply.

• A Confirmation Letter from both the employer and employee must be submitted

together with the application as proof that both the employer and employee

have agree to the 14 days ‘special leave’.

• In this instance the letters will stand in place of the medical certificate as the

beneficiary would have self – quarantined without prior consultation with a

medical practitioner. Benefits will be paid based on these letters.

• Should an employee be quarantined for more than 14 days, a medical

certificate from a medical practitioner must be submitted together with the

Continuation Form UI3.

9. THE APPLICABLE FORMS ARE :


• UI2.2 (a portion of which is completed by the Doctor)



10. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT :

• For every 4 days worked the employee accumulates 1 credit day, and

maximum credits days payable is 365 for every four completed years.


11. DEATH BENEFIT :

In the undesirable event where a contributor passes on, the following will apply:

• Benefits are paid to the beneficiaries of the deceased. People eligible to apply

are a Spouse, Life Partner, Children and nominated persons, in that order.

12. THE APPLICABLE FORMS AND REQUIRED DOCUMENTS ARE :

• UI19 and UI 53 (completed by the Employer)

• UI 2.5 or UI2.6 ( deceased application)

• Death Certificate

• ID of deceased and applicant



13. IT SHOULD BE NOTED THAT :

• For every 4 days worked you accumulate 1 credit day and maximum credits

days payable is 365 for every four completed years.
