The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently going to the Fernie two Group Hall in Mpuluzi to render expert services to the community.
SASSA will likely be rendering services which include new social grant applications, change of payment method, consumer treatment enquiries, along with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a press release, the agency mentioned it is alarmed about the substantial number of people counting on social grants for survival.
“The purpose in the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out to your higher variety of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This really is due to lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there's no fully functional office focused on service the area on a regular basis. The assistance place created for intervention experiences a higher sassa influx of prospective beneficiaries, which makes it hard with the Workplace to attend to all people who check out a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise a lot more resources to enable the servicing of all clients and increase usage of Social Assistance services,” the agency said.
