This page provides specifics regarding the Sassa payment dates for April 2024–2025.
No R350 grants were paid in April and May, Sassa admits
- Payments for April and May have not yet been made to the 10.6 million applicants who submitted applications for the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant in the new round that started on April 1.
- The SA Social Security Agency (Sassa) plans to start making payments in the middle of June after other social grants have been distributed. The grant’s availability was increased in the February budget, and it is now valid through March 2023.
- The Department of Social Development’s decision to impose a means test for the grant’s new phase is what caused the delay. Even if it comes from a family member, anyone making R350 or more per month will be ineligible. Sassa had to sign new contracts with banks, who will check bank accounts for income, in order to implement the test, though.
The department and Sassa stated in a presentation to Parliament last week:
The means test, which was previously extremely lax and only excluded those who were employed, is meant to guarantee that the grant reaches the most vulnerable members of society. The February budget allocated R44 billion to the SRD, enough to provide services for 10.5 million people. The department did say that this time around, more applicants were anticipated.
