Social Assistance Debtors relates to credit balances on Social Assistance debtors’ listings. The balance has decreased from the 2020/21
financial year mainly due to refunds made to the debtors. Included in the balance are credit balances relating to overpayment of
debt balances managed by SASSA on the BAS System and overpayments of debt balances administered by the SIU on behalf of the
Department.
The timing of the refunds is uncertain as the details of the debtor including debtors’ banking details need be determined. The amount
refundable has been reliably determined by considering the interest rates that have been published by the Minister of Finance.

payment is still awaited.
