The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) pays Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants to millions of unemployed people living in South Africa every month.

SRD grant payments will be made earlier in December 2024. This is due to Sassa’s grant payment policy. 

Sassa does not pay social grants on weekends or public holidays. While SRD grants are usually paid in the final week of the month, this will not be possible in December 2024. 

There are two public holidays in the final week in December 2024, Christmas and the Day of Goodwill. This prompted Sassa to pay grants earlier in the month. 

Final SRD Grant Payment Dates Announced for 2024

Sassa has confirmed that SRD grant payments for approved beneficiaries in December 2024 will be processed between 17 December 2024 and 23 December 2024.

Beneficiaries can check their SRD status on the official SRD website to determine the exact date their grant will reflect in their bank accounts.

How to Verify Your SRD Grant Status

Sassa has reminded SRD grant beneficiaries to complete a Sassa status check to see if they will be approved for payments in December 2024. 

By visiting the SRD website and completing a status check, beneficiaries can see the exact date when their grant payment will be paid.

Grant recipients are encouraged to stay informed and check their status regularly to avoid delays or confusion.

Will You Receive An SRD Grant Payment In December 2024?

When applying for an SRD grant, applicants provide their details including their ID number, name, and surname, which are sent to the Department of Home Affairs for validation.

In the next step, applicants’ ID numbers are checked against various databases. These include the South African Revenue Services (SARS), Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), and National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) to assess your financial situation. Both your ID number and mobile number undergo a fraud risk scoring process to verify the legitimacy of your application.

After all these checks are completed, Sassa will evaluate the application and decide whether to approve or deny the SRD grant application.
