The South African government has reintroduced the Special Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, which provides financial assistance to individuals who have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The new SRD grant is worth R350 per month and will be paid out for a period of three months, starting in April 2022.

To qualify for the new SRD grant, applicants must meet the following criteria:

Be between the ages of 18 and 60;
Be unemployed;
Not be receiving any other form of social grant or UIF benefit;
Not be receiving any income from any source;
Have no other means of support; and
Have a valid ID number.

To apply for the new SRD grant, applicants can complete the online application form on the official SASSA website or visit their nearest SASSA office to complete the application in person. Applicants will need to provide their personal information, including their ID number, name, surname, and contact details. They will also need to provide information about their income, employment status, and other sources of support.

Once the application is submitted, it will be processed by SASSA to determine the applicant’s eligibility for the new SRD grant. If approved, the grant payments will be made directly to the applicant’s bank account or through a cash pay-out at a designated pay point.

It is important to note that the new SRD grant is only available for a period of three months, starting in April 2022. Applicants who receive the grant must reapply every month to continue receiving the payments.
