Is it true that 350 are increased? 2023-2024
As of May 2023, there has been no official announcement about an increase in the value of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant to R350. However, it is important to note that the value of the SRD Grant has been increased in the past due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The SRD Grant is a temporary financial assistance program provided by the South African government to assist individuals and households that have been negatively affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant was initially set at R350 per month and has been extended multiple times since its launch in 2020. In the past, the value of the grant has been increased to provide additional financial relief to eligible recipients.
- It is possible that the value of the SRD Grant may be increased in the future if the economic impact of the pandemic continues to worsen. However, any changes to the value of the grant will be announced by the South African government or the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) through official channels.
- If you are currently receiving the SRD Grant, it is important to continue to monitor official government and SASSA channels for updates on any changes to the value of the grant. If you have not yet applied for the SRD Grant and believe that you may be eligible, you can apply through the SASSA website or by visiting your nearest SASSA office.
- To be eligible for the SRD Grant, you must be a South African citizen or permanent resident, be over the age of 18, and be experiencing financial hardship due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. You will also need to provide proof of identity, residency, and income status in order to be considered for the grant.
In conclusion, as of May 2023, there has been no official announcement about an increase in the value of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant to R350. However, it is possible that the value of the grant may be increased in the future due to the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. If you are currently receiving the SRD Grant or are considering applying for the grant, it is important to monitor official government and SASSA channels for updates on any changes to the value of the grant.
