Lansiodd Llywodraeth Cymru y cynllun taliadau cymorth o £500 ym mis Tachwedd 2020 i helpu pobl y gofynnwyd iddynt hunanynysu gan y gwasanaeth Profi, Olrhain, Diogelu.  Heddiw rwy'n ymestyn y Cynllun Taliadau Cymorth Hunanynysu i gynnwys y rhai y gofynnwyd iddynt hunanynysu fel cyswllt agos gan Ap Covid\-19 y GIG. 


Mae defnyddwyr Ap Covid\-19 y GIG bellach yn gymwys i wneud cais am y taliad o £500 os byddant yn cael hysbysiad eu bod wedi dod i gysylltiad â’r feirws, os ydynt ar incwm isel ac mewn perygl o galedi ariannol. Ers ei lansio, rydym eisoes wedi ehangu'r cynllun i gynnwys rhieni a gofalwyr plant y gofynnir iddynt hunanynysu oherwydd achosion mewn lleoliad addysgol. Mae'r estyniad pellach hwn yn cefnogi ein hymrwymiad i adolygu'r cynllun yn gyson a sicrhau ein bod yn rhoi cymorth ariannol i'r rhai sydd ei angen fwyaf.


Rwy'n ymestyn y cynllun i ddefnyddwyr Ap Covid\-19 y GIG o dan y meini prawf canlynol:


* Gofynnwyd iddynt hunanynysu gan eu bod wedi dod i gysylltiad â Covid\-19
* Maent yn bodloni meini prawf y prif gynllun, sef eu bod:
	+ yn gyflogedig neu'n hunangyflogedig;
	+ yn methu gweithio gartref a byddant yn colli incwm o ganlyniad; a
	+ (yr ymgeisydd neu ei bartner) ar hyn o bryd yn derbyn Credyd Cynhwysol, Credyd Treth Gwaith, Lwfans Cyflogaeth a Chymorth ar sail incwm, Lwfans Ceisio Gwaith ar sail incwm, Cymhorthdal Incwm, Budd\-dal Tai a/neu Gredyd Pensiwn; neu
* Derbyniwyd y cais o dan elfen ddewisol y cynllun.


Bydd system ddigidol ar waith cyn bo hir ond hyd nes y bydd hynny ar gael mae proses dros dro wedi'i datblygu i bob awdurdod lleol brosesu ceisiadau gan ddefnyddwyr Ap Covid\-19 y GIG. Bydd awdurdodau lleol yn gallu prosesu ceisiadau o ddydd Gwener 5 Chwefror ac fe fydd modd ôl\-hawlio o ddyddiad y cyhoeddiad heddiw.


Byddaf yn parhau i adolygu'r cynllun er mwyn sicrhau bod y rhai mwyaf anghenus yn cael y cymorth sydd ei angen arnynt i hunanynysu a lleihau achosion o drosglwyddo.

The Welsh Government launched the £500 payment scheme in November 2020 to support people who have been asked to self\-isolate by the Test, Trace, Protect service.  Today I am extending the Self\-Isolation Support Scheme to include those who have been asked to self\-isolate as a close contact by the NHS Covid\-19 App. 


NHS Covd\-19 App users are now eligible to apply for the £500 payment if they have been notified due to exposure, are on low income and at risk of financial hardship.  Since its launch, we have already expanded the scheme to include parents and carers of children asked to self\-isolate due to an outbreak in an educational setting.  This further extension supports our commitment to constantly review the scheme and ensure we provide financial support to those who need it most.


I am extending the scheme to NHS Covid\-19 App users under the following criteria:


* They have been asked to self\-isolate as a result of exposure to Covid\-19;
* They meet the criteria of the main scheme, namely they:
	+ are employed or self\-employed;
	+ are 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
* The application has been accepted under the discretionary element of the scheme.


A digital solution will be in place shortly but until that is available a temporary process has been developed for all local authorities to process applications from NHS Covid\-19 users.  Local authorities will be able to process applications from Friday 5 February with a back\-date from today’s announcement.


I will continue to keep the scheme under review to ensure those most in need receive the support they need to self\-isolate and reduce transmission.
