The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) is now paying Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants to applicants approved for payments in July 2024. Millions of Sassa beneficiaries will receive R370 grant payments this month.
Sassa has confirmed that all approved SRD grant applicants will start receiving their SRD grants for the month of July 2024 between 25 July and 30 July 2024.
The payment of SRD grants will be welcomed by the millions of financially vulnerable adults who depend on the grant.
Payments (for clients who are approved for May 2024) will be processed from 25 to 30 July 2024.
SRD grant payments come after Sassa completed beneficiary verification checks for the millions of people who applied for the SRD grant. Those who met all the eligibility criteria for the SRD grant will be paid this week.
While payments are being processed, beneficiaries should be aware that it might take an additional two to three business days for the money to reflect in their bank accounts.
Funds will take about 2-3 working days to reflect in the client’s account after payment has been processed.
Sassa Status Check for Specific Dates
Sassa encourages everyone who applied for the SRD grant to check their application status on the official Sassa website. This will give them the exact date they can expect the funds to appear in their accounts.
How Much Is July SRD Grant Payments
Back in March, Finance Minister Enoch Godongwana confirmed an increase in the SRD grant, bumping it from R350 to R370. May will be the second month that beneficiaries will benefit from the increased SRD grant payment.
