The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in Mpumalanga is currently browsing the Fernie two Group Hall in Mpuluzi to render expert services into the community.
SASSA will probably be rendering expert services for example new social grant applications, change of payment method, customer care enquiries, together with the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) COVID-19 grant enquiries.
In a statement, the agency claimed it's alarmed regarding the significant quantity of people counting on social grants for survival.
“The purpose of the Integrated Registration Outreach Programme [ICROP] is to reach-out into a significant number of clients/beneficiaries to access SASSA services.
“This is certainly because of the lack of infrastructure at Fernie and there is no entirely functional office committed to service the area regularly. The company point produced for intervention experiences a higher inflow of opportunity beneficiaries, that makes it tricky for that office to attend to all people who pay a visit to a service point.
“In this reach-out programme, SASSA will mobilise a lot more sources to enable the servicing of all prospects and raise use of Social Assistance providers,” the agency said.
