Social Relief Sassa Grant 

Sassa relief grant applications for the year 2024/2025 are currently ongoing which means applicants can now submit their applications. Applicants are advised to submit their applications before the application closing date to prevent any disappointments. Sassa R350 grant applicants are informed that personal information will be provided electronically and there is no need to upload any documentation. Applicants should ensure that they provide  Sassa with a mobile Number (cell phone number) where Sassa can reach and communicate with them about the outcome of their application.

The SRD Grant is intended for South African citizens, refugees, asylum seekers, and holders of special permits who are between the ages of 18 and 60 and have insufficient means or do not receive social grants on their own behalf,  and are not eligible for or do not contribute to UIF payment, and have no other financial support. The Social Relief of Distress Grant (SRD Grant) is implemented with the Minister of Finance’s approval and is administered in accordance with section 32 of the Social Assistance Act, 2004 (Act No. 13 of 2004).
Should Sassa rejects your application, you have the option to file an appeal with the Department of Social Development within the month that your application was rejected. After your application is rejected, you will receive information on how to file an appeal. Every month that the application is turned down without an appeal request, the initial judgement will stand.
