How To Cancel Your SASSA R350 Grant Application

President Cyril Ramaphosa declared a National State of Disaster as a result of the Covid-19 global pandemic. In this regard he introduced a special Covid 19 Social Relief of Distress Grant (SRD) of R350 per month to be paid to individuals who are currently unemployed, do not receive any form of income, social grant or UIF payment etc.

Sassa offers an option to those individuals who have applied to receive the R350 grant, to cancel their application. If your conditions changed so that you no longer need or qualify for the special Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress Grant, you may cancel your application.
