Millions of people are set to receive Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant payments in December 2024. The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) is responsible for the SRD grant or R370 grant.
R370 grant payments are usually made during the last week of the month but for December, beneficiaries can expect some changes to be made.
SRD Grant Payments For December
With the last week of December including Christmas, Boxing Day and New Years Day, Sassa's spokesperson, Paseka Letsatsi, has said that beneficiaries can expect SRD grants to be paid earlier.
December 2024 SRD grant payments are set to be paid to approved grant applicants between 17 December and 23 December 2024.
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.
How To Do A Sassa Status Check For R350 Payment Dates
First, visit the SASSA SRD status website for the SRD status check section.
You will then be asked to fill in your ID number, as well as the cell phone number that you used when you submitted your grant application. Hereafter, you will be able to check the progress of your grant by doing a Sassa status check.
For security, you will receive a One time pin which you will need to enter to see your Sassa grant payment status. You will also be able to see your SRD grant payment date.
Where To Collect SRD Grant Payments For December
Beneficiaries can choose to have their Sassa grant be paid directly to their bank account.
Sassa grant beneficiaries can also collect their Sassa social grants at several payment points. These payment points include ATMs and retail stores such as Pick n Pay, Checkers, Shoprite and Boxer stores.
Sassa has said that there is no need to rush to withdraw the Sassa money on the first day because once the money is paid, it will stay in your bank account.
