Millions of vulnerable people rely on Sassa grants to purchase basic goods every month. One of these Sassa grants is the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.
The SRD grant, which is also known as the R350 grant, was introduced to assist SA residents with no regular job or other grant income. The grant is governed under the Social Assistance Act, providing financial assistance to vulnerable members of society who need financial support - in the form of social security benefits.

Sassa grant payments for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant are now made at the end of the month. However, with Christmas at the end of the month, grants will be paid earlier.
SRD grant payments for December will therefore be made from 18 December until 22 December.
The processing of grants take place during the latter stages of the month as Sassa conducts various verification checks to ensure the grant applicant meets the qualifying criteria for the grant.
