SASSA stands for the South African Social Security Agency. It is a government agency in South Africa that is responsible for the distribution of social grants to eligible citizens, including older persons, persons with disabilities and children's grants. The agency was established in 2005 and is overseen by the South African Department of Social Development.

Some of the grants that SASSA distributes include the old age grant, disability grant, child support grant, foster child grant, and grant-in-aid. In order to be eligible for these grants, applicants must meet certain criteria, such as being a South African citizen or permanent resident, being within a certain age range and having a certain level of income.

If you're busy submitting your Sassa R350 grant application, at some point, a One Time Pin (OTP) will be mentioned. This pin is needed to complete your application.

Once you've started your Special Relief of Distress (SRD) grant application on WhatsApp and you've completed the step where you submit your personal details, you will then be sent a reference number, an OTP and a website link to click on. 

Here you would have to click on the link and enter the OTP to verify your application. But what happens if you can't find or access your OTP?

Here's how to retrieve your OTP on WhatsApp to access your form:

  1. Add 082 046 8553 on WhatsApp
  2. Send a message saying 'hi' to this number
  3. Once you receive a response, reply with 'help'
  4. Then reply with '4'
  5. You will then be given a bunch of options and to this you reply with 'SASSA OTP'
  6. You will then be asked to enter your reference number that you were given
  7. Enter the number
  8. Follow the prompts and you will then retrieve your OTP

OTPs are usually used to verify information linking you to your SRD grant application. 

Once you've retrieved your OTP, you would then enter it where it was asked and you can then continue with your Sassa application.

SASSA also works to ensure that its beneficiaries receive their grants in a timely and efficient manner. This involves managing a large database of beneficiaries, coordinating with banks and other financial institutions and conducting outreach programmes to ensure that those in need are aware of the services available to them.

Overall, SASSA plays an important role in helping to reduce poverty and inequality in South Africa by providing financial assistance to those who need it most.
