Has your application for SASSA R350 been declined? Is your SASSA R350 the reason for the decline stating “UIF registered”? If this is so, then your qualification for SASSA R350 will be at a halt.
Most applicants do not know the relationship between the unemployment insurance fund and the SASSA R350. These two policies serve similar purposes, but there are differences in terms of the qualifications and criteria.
The unemployment insurance fund is purposely available for applicants who used to work and, for a few reasons, are currently unemployed.
An individual who contributed to UIF while working and, in the case of illness, they are not deemed fit to work for months qualifies for UIF. This is an insurance fund that is kept for all qualified UIF contributors.
On the other hand, the SASSA R350 is a grant that is given to individuals who are unemployed and receive no form of income. Certain people qualify for the SASSA R350, including people above 60 who have gone on pension. Other qualifications confirm that one can receive SASSA R350 grant.
Overall, these two government institutions are similar in supporting applicants who are distressed and need financial support for a period of time.

Applicants who have been declined for the R350 grant may cancel their UIF in order to qualify.
One thing that links both the UIF and R350 is that they both provide financial support for the unemployed for a particular period of time.
Most applicants are not aware that once you qualify for UIF, you can not receive R350 grant. The department of labour, in the past, has addressed the grievances of many applicants who find themselves in this situation.
Finally, one can not cancel UIF for no reason. If you find yourself unemployed for some time, it does not mean you will not be employed again, and therefore, UIF does not provide a platform for individuals to cancel their applications.
Applicants who wish to receive R350 grant but do not qualify because of UIF registration can not cancel their UIF. The option to cancel UIF is not available. However, there are ways to resolve this issue in order to receive the SASSA R350 grant.
As it has been said, currently, there is no way for one to cancel UIF for SASSA R350, but if you wish to receive R350 grant, you need to appeal or send a reconsideration notice to SASSA. Sometimes the duration of the unemployment plays a huge role in your R350 qualification. And it becomes essential to check every piece of information you provide for the SASSA R350 grant application.
Sending an appeal or applying for reconsideration can allow SASSA to revoke its decision on your R350 declination. Once SASSA finds out the initial decision is wrong, your approval for your R350 grant will be done.
