Do I have to apply every month for SRD grant? 2023-2024

The R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant is a monthly payment provided by the South African government to individuals who are unemployed and not receiving any other form of income support. The grant was initially introduced in 2020 as a temporary measure to provide financial assistance to those who were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The government has since extended the grant until March 2022.

• If you have successfully applied for the R350 SRD grant, you do not need to apply for it every month. The grant is paid out monthly for a period of up to six months, after which you will need to reapply if you still meet the eligibility criteria.
• It is important to note that you must meet the eligibility criteria for the R350 SRD grant throughout the entire period for which you are receiving the grant. If your circumstances change and you no longer meet the eligibility criteria, you must inform the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) immediately.
• If your application for the R350 SRD grant is unsuccessful, you can reapply after 30 days if your circumstances have changed and you now meet the eligibility criteria. However, it is important to note that the R350 SRD grant is not guaranteed, and the decision to grant the funding is at the discretion of SASSA.
• If you have any questions or concerns about your R350 SRD grant application, you can contact SASSA through their website or helpline. SASSA also provides regular updates on the status of the grant, including any changes to the eligibility criteria or application process.

In conclusion, if you have successfully applied for the R350 SRD grant, you do not need to apply for it every month. The grant is paid out monthly for a period of up to six months, after which you will need to reapply if you still meet the eligibility criteria. It is important to keep your information up-to-date and inform SASSA if your circumstances change.
