The SASSA R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, now known as the R370 grant, continues to provide vital financial support to millions of unemployed South Africans. For the 2026-2027 period, beneficiaries are particularly focused on keeping track of the official payment dates to ensure they receive their funds on time. Since this grant is a lifeline for many households struggling with basic needs such as food, transport, and electricity, staying informed about the R350 payment schedule has become more important than ever.
SASSA structures its payments carefully each month to reduce congestion at pay points and make the process smoother. Traditionally, Older Persons’ Grants are paid first, followed by Disability Grants, then Children’s Grants. The R350 SRD payments are processed after all the other grants are completed, usually toward the last week of the month. This system helps SASSA manage the high demand while ensuring that all beneficiaries eventually receive their funds.
Knowing the payment dates for R350 in 2026-2027 allows recipients to plan, budget their expenses and avoid unnecessary delays. Beneficiaries can access their funds in different ways, whether through direct bank transfers, retail stores like Shoprite, Boxer, Pick n Pay, and Checkers, or Cash Send services for those without bank accounts.
To confirm the exact date for each month, applicants are encouraged to regularly do a Sassa status check using the official website, WhatsApp, Moya App, or USSD code. By staying updated on the R350 grant schedule for 2026-2027, beneficiaries can manage their finances with confidence and peace of mind.
