The UIF recipients cannot apply for the SRD R350 grant according to the South African Social Security Agency guidelines. Some people ask if they can cancel the previous one to get the latter one.
The cancellation process is a bit complex, but if you follow my lead, you need 3 to 5 minutes to lodge a reconsideration appeal for the SRD R350 grant, whether you are a UIF recipient.
How to Cancel UIF for R350?
Important Consideration: The majority of the people apply for both UIF and SASSA SRD R350 grants, considering that they can have an opportunity to get grants from 2 sources. If you have applied for one of them, you cannot get another one. Additionally, the applicant who has once applied for the UIF benefits cannot cancel his application.
You might find it unbelievable, but there is no way to cancel the UIF registration. If you have enjoyed the UIF benefits in the past and now want to apply for the SASSA SRD R350, your application can be rejected.
There are two ways to solve the issue: first, you need to visit the UIF office along with the SASSA office, and second, you can reapply for the SRD R350 grant.
Visiting the UIF Office
The majority of the people claim that they do not receive UIF grants, but still, the SRD R350 grant is canceled by SASSA due to their regeneration in the UIF; whether you receive it or not, you need to visit the UIF office to cancel your registration. Go to the nearest UIF office and provide them your details.
Go to the relevant counter and address your problem; the worker will take some initial information and will send you to the application office. Here, you need to explain the reasons for the cancellation of UIF registration to the officer. The officer may conduct a short interview, and then he will cancel your registration.
In case, it does not work then you need to go to the SASSA office. Go to the relevant counter and address your issue, and then the worker will send you to the relevant authorities. Here, you need to show the payslips, bank statements, and the SASSA application status.
If you have received the amount in the past from UIF, then you need to show the old UIF payment record and ensure them that currently you do not get a single rand from the Unemployment Insurance Fund. The officer will give you a form of application reconsideration, which you need to fill out with his assistance.
Provide the required documents and banking details to the authorities. Submit the form to the relevant counter and note the reference number of your SASSA application. The number will be required to see the application’s status in the future.
