Process Flow

The scheme, part of the government's social assistance policy, provides a monthly minimum wage to eligible elderly persons with a disability. In this example, beneficiaries must declare that they do not receive another social security benefit.

This benefit cannot be combined with other social security benefits (e.g. unemployment insurance, retirement, or a pension) or benefits from other regimes, except for medical assistance, special pensions of an indemnifying nature, and remuneration from a learning.

Process Flow: Eligibility Check in a Grants for Old Age Scheme Enrolment

Sections	Description
Actors and Entities	Applicants, SP system, IBR, national ID system, CRVS, DR, social registry
Assumptions	The CRVS system contains the national ID for every recorded vital event and provides liveness data and age eligibility checks. Eligibility is satisfied: elderly individual is aged 65 years or older, or person is of any age with a disability that hinders their full participation in society. National ID and CRVS systems provide beneficiary data to the SP-MIS. The DR updates the social registry with the latest PWD data periodically. Bank account details are verified using the Mapper Database.
Prerequisites	The beneficiary has a registered national ID. The beneficiary’s vital events are registered in the civil registry. The beneficiary provides consent to SP systems for various operations required for registration.
Process Inputs	The input for the registration process in the scheme is the beneficiary's national ID. Once authenticated, this national ID can be used to initiate the eligibility check, liveness check, and applicant’s bank account verification process.
Process Flow Steps	Step 1: The applicant accesses the self-registration portal of the SP system for the scheme and submits their national ID. Step 2: The SP system requests authentication of the national ID from the national ID system. If the applicant is not registered, the process ends. Step 3: The SP system receives the registration request and checks the IBR to see if the applicant is already registered. Step 4: If the applicant is not enrolled, the SP system requests an age and liveness check from the CRVS using the national ID. If not, the process ends. Step 5: The SP system verifies age eligibility and liveness based on the CRVS results. If successful, the SP system requests disability status verification from the DR using the national ID. If not, the process ends. Step 6: The SP system verifies the applicant and family's registration and disability status based on results. Step 7: If eligibility is confirmed, the applicant's registration is completed, and they are enrolled in the social protection scheme. The SP system then requests the payment system to transfer grants to the applicant's bank account. Step 8: The payment system uses the ID Mapper Database to verify the bank account associated with the national ID. If the account is payable, the details are added to the SP system payment list, and the applicant is notified of the successful grant transfer.
Outputs	Using interoperability with the IBR, DR, and CRVS, the SP system can request and exchange beneficiary information securely. Based on the received information, the SP system can immediately decide whether to enrol the beneficiary in the programme.
Control Points	A control point is set in the SP system when the results of the applicant’s beneficiary registration check are received. If successful, the process moves forward with national ID authentication. If not successful, the registration request is terminated. A control point is set in the SP system when the results of national ID authentication are received. If successful, the process advances to eligibility and liveness checks. If not successful, the registration request is terminated. A control point is set in the SP system when the results of the CRVS search are received. If both eligibility and liveness checks are successful, the process continues. If either check fails, the registration request may be terminated. A control point is set in the SP system when the results from the DR are received. If the eligibility check is successful, the process continues. If not, the registration request may be terminated. A control point is set in the SP system when the results from the DR are received. If the eligibility check is successful, the registration process is completed. If not, the registration request may be terminated.
