How much is the new SRD grant 2023? 2023-2024
Some general information about the previous SRD grant.
- The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant was introduced by the South African government in May 2020 as a temporary measure to assist vulnerable individuals who were affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and the related lockdowns. The initial amount of the grant was R350 per month, and it was initially intended to last for six months.
- However, the grant was extended several times, with the latest extension being announced in March 2021. At that time, it was announced that the SRD grant would be extended until the end of April 2021, and the amount of the grant would be increased to R350 per month.
- It's unclear if the government will extend the SRD grant again in the future or what the amount might be if it is extended. As of my training cutoff date, there has been no announcement from the government about any plans to extend the SRD grant beyond April 2021.
- It's important to note that the SRD grant is intended as a temporary measure to assist individuals who are experiencing financial distress due to the pandemic. It is not intended to be a long-term solution to poverty and should not be relied upon as a regular source of income.
- If you are in need of financial assistance, you may want to explore other government programs or services that may be available to you. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) offers a range of social grants, including grants for older persons, persons with disabilities, and children. You can visit the SASSA website or contact your nearest SASSA office for more information about these grants and the eligibility requirements.
- Additionally, there are many other government and non-governmental organizations that provide assistance and support to individuals and families who are struggling financially. These organizations may offer services such as food assistance, job training, and counseling. You can do research on these organizations or contact a social worker or community center in your area for more information and guidance on how to access these resources.
