Under the new guideline, SRD recipients needed to reapply and guarantee that they met the new measures of having a month-to-month edge of R350.

There is a procedure in place at the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) that will assist the Agency in determining whether or not to continue distributing the SRD grant to beneficiaries.

Beneficiaries are required to resubmit their prior R350 grant application in order for Sassa to be able to accomplish this.

To confirm your existing R350 grant application, follow these steps:

• Go to the SRD website.
  Scroll down to the “Reconfirm your grant application” section.
  Click the yellow “Click here to reconfirm your existing application” bar.
  Enter your ID number here.
  Enter your phone number here.
  Click the Send SMS button.
  You will be sent an SMS with a One-Time Pin (OTP).
  Insert the Pin
  Verify the pin by clicking it.
  Then take all of the necessary steps to finish the process.

At least once every three months, applicants for the SRD R350 grant are required to resubmit their applications to Sassa.

Following this, the Agency will be informed that applicants still require and are eligible for the SRD grant in accordance with the new regulations.

Existing applicants are also said to be able to update their responses to a screening questionnaire that can be found on the SRD website at any time to correct errors or if their circumstances change.
