Mae’r cynllun, sydd wedi ei estyn tan fis Mehefin 2021, bellach yn agored i geisiadau gan bobl sydd ag incwm personol o lai na £500 yr wythnos a’r rheini sy’n cael Taliad Salwch Statudol Safonol y gofynnwyd iddynt hunanynysu gan y gwasanaeth Profi, Olrhain, Diogelu, ap Covid\-19 y GIG neu leoliad addysg eu plentyn.


Bydd y newidiadau hyn yn golygu y bydd tua 170,000 o bobl yn ychwanegol yn gymwys i gael y taliad os y gofynnir iddynt hunanynysu, ac os byddent yn colli incwm o ganlyniad i hynny.


Bwriad y cynllun hwn yw helpu i gael gwared ar rwystrau ariannol sy’n wynebu pobl y gofynnir iddynt hunanynysu, drwy ddarparu taliad o £500 i bobl gyflogedig neu hunan\-gyflogedig y dywedwyd wrthynt am hunanynysu gan y gwasanaeth Profi, Olrhain, Diogelu, sy’n cael Credyd Cynhwysol neu fudd\-dal penodol arall, sy’n methu gweithio gartref, neu sy’n rhieni neu’n gofalu am blentyn y gofynnir iddo hunanynysu oherwydd bod achosion Covid\-19 yn eu lleoliad addysgol.


Mae’r elfen yn ôl disgresiwn yn cefnogi pobl nad ydynt  yn cael budd\-daliadau ond sy’n bodloni’r meini prawf eraill ac sydd mewn perygl o wynebu caledi ariannol.


Yn ychwanegol mae’r cynllun wedi ei estyn tan fis Mehefin 2021 gyda’r posibilrwydd o estyniad pellach tan fis Hydref 2021\.


*Dywedodd  Julie James, y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol:*



> Mae hunanynysu yn allweddol os ydym am roi stop ar ledaeniad y coronafeirws, a thra bo rhaglenni profi cymunedol yn yr arfaeth dros y misoedd nesaf mae’n hanfodol ein bod yn estyn y cynllun hwn i helpu rhagor o bobl i hunanynysu a chael y gefnogaeth ariannol sydd ei angen arnynt.
> 
> 
> “Rwyf eisiau diolch eto i bob awdurdod lleol yng Nghymru am eu cefnogaeth ddiflino yn cyflwyno’r cynllun hwn. Mae adborth ganddynt yn dweud bod y cynllun yn gweithio yn dda a bron i 8\.500 o daliadau wedi eu gwneud. Er hynny, rydym yn gwybod bod diffyg incwm yn rhwystr i bobl rhag hunanynysu.
> 
> 
> Mae Llywodraeth Cymru yn benderfynol o ddiogelu iechyd a lles pobl, a byddwn yn parhau i a helpu pobl Cymru yn ystod y cyfnod heriol hwn drwy sicrhau bod cymorth yn cael ei roi i’r rheini sydd ei angen.


Dywedodd y Cynghorydd Anthony Hunt (Torfaen), Llefarydd Cyllid CLlLC:



> Rydym yn croesawu’r estyniad i’r Cynllun Cymorth Hunanynysu, a fydd yn helpu unrhyw un sy’n wynebu gorfod dewis rhwng aros gartref a methu â bwydo’r teulu neu fynd i’r gwaith ac efallai ledaenu’r coronafeirws. Ni ddylai neb orfod gwneud penderfyniad o’r fath. Bydd ymestyn y cynllun hwn yn golygu gallu parhau i helpu pawb i wneud eu rhan yn y frwydr yn erbyn y pandemig hwn.

The scheme, which has been extended until June 2021, will now be open to applications from people with a personal income of less than £500 per week and those on Basic Statutory Sick Pay who have been asked to self\-isolate by Test, Trace, Protect (TTP) service, the NHS Covid\-19 App or by their child’s education setting.


These changes, will make approximately 170,000 additional people now eligible for the payment, if they are asked to self\-isolate and would lose income as a result. 


The payment scheme was intended to help remove financial barriers faced by people who need to self\-isolate by providing a £500 payment for people who are employed or self\-employed, who had been told to self\-isolate by the Test, Trace, Protect (TTP) service and who are in receipt of Universal Credit or another specified benefit, unable to work from home or are a parent or carer or a child asked to self\-isolate due to an outbreak in an education setting.


The discretionary element supports people who are not on benefits but who meet the other criteria and are at risk of financial hardship.


In addition the scheme has been extended until June 2021 with the possibility for further extension until October 2021\.


The Minister for Housing and Local Government, Julie James said:



> Self\-isolation is key if we are to stop the spread of coronavirus and with more community testing programmes planned in the coming months it is vital we enhance the scheme to help more people self\-isolate and receive the financial support they need.
> 
> 
> I want to reiterate my thanks to every Local Authority in Wales for their continued support in delivering this scheme. Feedback from our Local Authorities is that the scheme is working well with nearly 8,500 payments made. However we know that a lack of income is still being reported as a barrier for people self\-isolating.
> 
> 
> The Welsh Government is committed to protecting people’s health and wellbeing and we will continue to help the people of Wales during this difficult time by ensuring those in most need of support receive it.


Councillor Anthony Hunt (Torfaen), WLGA Finance Spokesperson said:



> “We welcome the extension to the Self Isolation Support Scheme, which will help anyone who faces the choice of staying at home and not being able to feed their family or going to work and potentially spreading coronavirus. No\-one should have to make such a decision. Extending this support will continue to help everyone play their part in the fight against this pandemic.”
