The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) would like to inform all Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant beneficiaries that the Agency is mandated to suspend grant payments for clients to confirm their identity.<\/p>\n
After the grant has been suspended, the beneficiary is allowed to re-apply. SASSA implemented this activity to ensure that the Agency pays social grants to the right people and avoid identity theft.<\/p>\n
The Agency is encouraging people to take responsibility to make sure that their Identity numbers are not utilised for fraudulent activities. SASSA beneficiaries must ensure that they do not share their identity numbers with strangers to avoid becoming aiding fraudsters.<\/p>\n
SASSA has well trained officials who are assigned to deal with Covid-19 SRD grant cases. If the beneficiary or applicant is suspecting fraudulent activity, he or she must not hesitate to contact SASSA.<\/p>\n
\n
When beneficiaries check their status and see that it is marked as \u201creferred\u201d it means that the SASSA system has flagged potential fraudulent activity therefore the beneficiary must contact SASSA immediately to resolve the case.<\/p>\n
\n
Beneficiaries are urged not to keep on changing their banking details and contact numbers because those processes delay the payment processes.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, SASSA would like to inform its beneficiaries that the Electronic Know Your Client system has been suspended to enhance its functionality until further notice.<\/p>\n
