FAQ On SASSA SRD Grant

Frequently Asked Question (FAQs) On SRD SASSA Grant

1. Can I go to a SASSA office to lodge an application for the Special Covid19 SRD Grant?
** No, SRD applications cannot be done at local offices. Applications for the Special Covid19 SRD Grant of R350 per month must be completed electronically by using 1 of the available channels.

** No forms will be made available as the entire process is electronic. Please stress that noone should pay for the application – the process is free

2. I made an application for the Special Covid19 SRD Grant and I have not received feedback from SASSA, any advice?
Please note that SASSA is experiencing high application volumes. Many people also apply more than once or apply on all the channels. This delays the process as SASSA has to verify all applications and ensure that there are no duplicates.

In the end SASSA will only consider one application per applicant. Once the application has been considered, a SMS message will be send to all considered applicants. Every applicant will be advised about the outcome of their application.

3. Does submission of an application imply approval is guaranteed
Submission of an application is not approval. Not all applications will be approved. Every application will be tested for availability of means or income. Those applications which pass the mean test and related verifications shall be approved. It should also be noted that payment is subject to availability of funds.

4. I received a SMS from SASSA to upload my banking details but no money has been received
Once we have obtained your banking details we should be able to pay you either through your bank account if you have one or through a cash transfer option

5. When I apply through the WhatsApp and Website channels, do I need to upload any documents or attachments such as ID copy, proof of residence etc.
SASSA does not require any documents / attachments to be uploaded. SASSA shall conduct online verification of personal information supplied through other alternative electronic means of data validation and verification. No physical documents are required

6. If I do not give consent about my information being verified with either SARS and other financial institutions, what will happen to my application
If you do not give consent for information verification with other organisations for purposes of SASSA making a decision on your application, SASSA will unfortunately not be in a position to accept your application. You cannot submit your application if no consent for information verification is provided.

Required Information For SRD SAPO Branch Payment Collection

The SRD (Social Relief of Distress) grant administered by SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) is typically disbursed through direct bank transfers to eligible beneficiaries’ bank accounts, rather than through the South African Post Office (SAPO) branches. Beneficiaries are required to have a bank account in their name to receive the SRD grant payments.
