new r350 grant application 2024-2025

There are new regulations for the Sassa R350 grant now that the National State of Disaster is no longer in effect. The following is the procedure for submitting an R350 award application under the new rules.

Applications for the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, which expires in March 2019, are still being accepted. Online applications for SRD grants are becoming increasingly popular.

In response to Covid-19 and its economic effects, the South African government established a new Sassa grant known as the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, also known as the R350 grant.

The following eligibility requirements must be met before submitting an application:

Citizens of South Africa/permanent residents/refugees/asylum seekers/holders of special permits
Unemployed
Have no other means of earning a living or receiving financial support.
Between the ages of 18 and 60, no other social grants, UIF, or NSFAS are received.

How to Apply for the R350 Grant Online in 2024

• Visit the SRD website.
• Scroll down to the section under ‘How do I apply for this SRD Grant?’ and click on the yellow bar.
• Enter your mobile phone number.
• Click “send sms,” then enter the one-time pin sent by Sassa to the number.
• Continue the application procedure by following Sassa’s instructions.

Applications for R350 grants can also be filed via WhatsApp at:

• Adding this number: 082 046 8553
• Send a text message to this number.
• In the Whatsapp message, give your name, surname, and ID number.

Because SASSA will be cooperating with other institutions to verify the information provided by applicants, all applicants will be required to sign a declaration and consent form.

You only need to apply once per channel and not several times per channel. Sassa will only accept one application from each applicant. SASSA will contact successful applicants after their submissions have been processed.
