The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) is responsible for the disbursement of social grants to vulnerable South Africans. One grant which is provided is the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.
This grant sees beneficiaries receive R370 a month and is only available to unemployed South Africans with no alternative source of income.
SRD Grant Payment Dates For June 2024
Sassa has said that SRD grant payments will be made in the last week of the month, following the completion of verification checks to approve clients. For June payments, Sassa has made it clear:
Payments (for clients who are approved for the month of June 2024) will be processed from 24-29 June 2024.
"Clients are encourages to view their status on the SRD website for the exact date that payment will reflect into their bank accounts," said the agency.
