The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has released the payment schedule for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant for January 2025. This temporary grant, valued at R370, is provided to unemployed individuals in need of financial support.
When January 2025 SRD Grant Payments Will Commence
Sassa confirmed January 2025 SRD grant payments are set to be paid to approved grant applicants between 25 January and 31 January 2025.
Payments (for clients who are approved for the month of January 2025) will be processed from 25-31 January 2025.
Beneficiaries are urged to check their SRD status on the official SRD website to determine the exact date their grant will reflect in their bank accounts.
Clients are encouraged to view their status on the SRD website for the exact date that payment will be reflected in their bank accounts.
Sassa SRD Status Check
Sassa has urged beneficiaries to confirm their exact payment dates by checking their SRD status on the official website. To do this, applicants must log in with their ID number and the mobile number used during the application process.
Once logged in, users will receive a one-time PIN (OTP) to securely access their payment information. The website will display the date when the grant will be reflected in their bank account.
SRD Grant Payment Options
Approved beneficiaries can receive their SRD grant directly into their bank accounts. Alternatively, grants can be collected from designated payment points, including ATMs and participating retailers such as Pick n Pay, Checkers, Shoprite, and Boxer stores.
Sassa has reassured recipients that there is no need to withdraw funds immediately. Once the money is deposited, it will remain safely in the account until withdrawn.
