Sapo Srd Grant
Sapo Srd Grant Application
Sapo simply means the South African Post Office. The new round of applications for the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant has opened but Sapo has announced that it will no longer pay the Srd grant through its branches, saying the move will help ease long queues at its branches. It added on Thursday that “cash challenges” prevent it from paying grants at its branches. However, beneficiaries can receive their grant from any Pick n Pay, Boxer, Shoprite, Checkers or USave merchant.
If you have already reapplied for your SRD grant, you can still select the option to collect your grant from any Pick n Pay, Boxer, Shoprite, Checkers or USave. Log on to srd.sassa.gov.za and respond to the security SMS you receive on your phone. You can then include merchants in your application and submit the updated application.
Beneficiaries must have their own cell number to withdraw their grant at supermarkets. If you do not have your own number, it is best to get your own SIM card and use that number to apply for your grant. You can also change your cell number on the above website. Beneficiaries will be assisted to reset card pins at the cash pay points. The card can then be used by merchants at ATMs. SASSA beneficiaries who receive old age, disability or child grants can still collect their grants from any Post Office branch.
Where To Collect Srd Grant Apart From Sapo
You can collect your grant from Pick n Pay, Boxer, Shoprite, Checkers or USave stores. Sapo and the SA Social Security Agency (Sassa) advise those who get the grant to choose this payment option in their applications when applying for the grant.
