When To Collect R350 Grant

During the pandemic, the South African government established the Social Relief of Distress Grant (SRD Grant). The SRD grant’s goal is to provide financial assistance to people who do not have the resources to maintain themselves. The grant is worth R350 per month for as long as candidates meet the criteria.

The R350 award, also known as the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress grant, is a financial assistance programme offered by SASSA to help people and families who are experiencing financial difficulties as a result of the pandemic.

If you are an R350 grant recipient, you must be aware of the dates for receiving your payment.  The exact dates for collecting the R350 award will depend on the payment cycle and SASSA’s processing timeline. It is crucial to highlight that SASSA has made efforts to shorten the payment process and offer qualified recipients timely assistance.
