Sassa Official Statements
The grant is NOT being increased, however, the grant is being extended until 31 March 2024. The confusion about the R624 amount is that SASSA increased the means test threshold to R624 per month – this means that you must NOT earn more than R624 per month in order to apply for the SRD grant (effective from August 2022). Previously, the maximum income amount to qualify for the grant was R350. Increasing the maximum income threshold, means more cash-strapped South Africans are able to qualify for the Covid-19 grant.
