O heddiw, bydd defnyddwyr yr ap sy’n cael gwybod eu bod wedi dod i gysylltiad â’r feirws, ac sydd ar incwm isel ac mewn perygl o ddioddef caledi ariannol yn gymwys ynghyd â’r bobl sydd wedi cael cyfarwyddyd i hunanynysu gan y gwasanaeth Profi, Olrhain, Diogelu, neu rieni y mae lleoliad addysg wedi gofyn i’w plentyn hunanynysu.


I fod yn gymwys i wneud cais, bydd angen i ddefnyddwyr yr ap fodloni meini prawf y prif gynllun. Rhaid iddynt fod:


* yn gyflogedig neu’n hunangyflogedig;
* ddim yn gallu gweithio gartref ac yn mynd i golli incwm o ganlyniad; ac
* (yr ymgeisydd neu eu partner) yn derbyn Credyd Cynhwysol, Credyd Treth Gwaith, Lwfans Cyflogaeth a Chymorth seiliedig ar incwm, Lwfans Ceisio Gwaith seiliedig ar incwm, Cymhorthdal Incwm, Budd\-dal Tai a/neu Gredyd Pensiwn ar hyn o bryd; neu
* Bod eu cais wedi’i dderbyn o dan elfen ddewisol y Cynllun Taliadau Cymorth Hunanynysu.


I ganiatáu i gymaint o bobl â phosibl sy’n cael hysbysiad gan yr ap i wneud cais yn brydlon, mae trefniadau dros dro ar waith nes y bydd ateb digidol ar gael. Gall defnyddwyr wneud cais am y taliad drwy gysylltu â’u hawdurdod lleol. Fodd bynnag, nes bydd yr ap yn cael ei ddiweddaru i ddilysu unigolion sydd wedi cael cais i hunanynysu, bydd angen i ddefnyddwyr hefyd ddangos tystiolaeth bod yr ap wedi gofyn iddynt hunanynysu yn ogystal â thystiolaeth o incwm isel wrth wneud cais. Bydd awdurdodau lleol yn gallu derbyn a phrosesu ceisiadau am daliadau o ddydd Gwener 5 Chwefror a bydd ymgeiswyr yn gallu gwneud cais hyd at dair wythnos o ddiwrnod olaf eu cyfnod hunanynysu.


Dywedodd y Gweinidog Tai a Llywodraeth Leol, Julie James:



> Mae Llywodraeth Cymru wedi ymrwymo i ddiogelu iechyd a llesiant pobl a byddwn yn parhau i gefnogi pobl Cymru yn ystod y cyfnod anodd hwn. Mae’r taliad o £500 eisoes wedi rhoi diogelwch ariannol i bobl sydd wedi cael cyfarwyddyd i hunanynysu, gan helpu i dorri’r cylch trosglwyddo a sicrhau nad oes rhaid i unrhyw un ddewis rhwng aros gartref a methu bwydo eu teulu, neu fynd i’r gwaith ac, o bosib, lledaenu’r feirws.
> 
> 
> Mae Awdurdodau Lleol unwaith eto wedi wynebu’r her o sicrhau bod pawb sydd angen cymorth ariannol drwy gydol y pandemig yn ei gael wrth inni gwblhau’r gwaith o alluogi i bobl wneud cais yn uniongyrchol drwy’r ap. Maent eisoes wedi bod yn gweithio’n ddiflino a hoffwn ddiolch iddynt unwaith eto am eu gwaith caled a’u hymroddiad.
> 
> 
> Byddaf yn parhau i adolygu’r cynllun i sicrhau bod y bobl sydd â’r angen mwyaf yn cael y cymorth y maent ei angen i hunanynysu a lleihau trosglwyddiad y feirws.

From today app users who have been notified as being exposed to the virus, are on low income and at risk of financial hardship are eligible alongside those who have been asked to self\-isolate by Test, Trace, Protect or parents whose child has been asked to self\-isolate by their education setting.


To be eligible to apply, app users will need to meet the criteria of the main scheme and be:


* Employed or self\-employed;
* unable to work from home and will lose income as a result; and
* (the applicant or their partner) are currently receiving, Universal Credit, Working Tax Credit, income\-based Employment and Support Allowance, income\-based Jobseeker’s Allowance, Income Support, Housing Benefit and/or Pension Credit; or
* Have their application accepted under the discretionary element of Self\-Isolation Support Scheme.


To allow as many people notified by the app to apply as soon as possible, a temporary workaround has been created until a digital solution is available. Users can apply for the payment by contacting their local authority. However until the app is updated to verify individuals who have been asked to self\-isolate, users will need to show evidence that the app has asked them to self\-isolate in addition to evidence of reduced income when applying.  Local authorities will be able to accept and process applications for payments from Friday 5 February and applicants will be able to apply up to three weeks from their last date of isolation.


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



> The Welsh Government is committed to protecting people’s health and wellbeing and we will continue to support the people of Wales during this difficult time. The £500 payment has already provided financial security to those asked to self\-isolate, helping to break the cycle of transmission and ensure no one has to choose between feeding their family or going to work and potentially spreading the virus.
> 
> 
> Local Authorities have once again risen to the challenge of ensuring all those who need financial support throughout this pandemic receive it whilst we are finalising work to allow people to apply directly through the app. They have already been working tirelessly I once again thank them for their hard work and dedication.
> 
> 
> I will continue to keep the scheme under review to ensure that those most in need receive the support they need to self\-isolate and reduce transmission.
