sassa for june 2023 2023-2024
In June, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) continues to provide support to those in need through their various grant programs. SASSA is an agency of the South African government that is responsible for providing social assistance to individuals and families who are in need. The agency provides a variety of grants, including child support grants, disability grants, and the temporary social relief of distress (SRD) grant, among others.
- One of the major highlights for SASSA in June is the continuation of the R350 SRD grant, which was introduced last year to provide temporary relief for those who are unemployed or not receiving any other forms of income. The grant was initially set to expire in April 2021, but has since been extended until March 2022 due to the ongoing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on employment rates in the country.
- To qualify for the SRD grant, applicants must be South African citizens or permanent residents who are not receiving any other forms of income or social grants. The grant is also available to those who have lost their income due to the pandemic or the recent civil unrest in certain parts of the country. The application process for the SRD grant can be done online through the official SASSA website or through the agency's WhatsApp line.
- In addition to the SRD grant, SASSA also continues to provide support to those who are eligible for other forms of grants. For instance, the child support grant provides financial assistance to parents or caregivers of children under the age of 18, while the disability grant is available to those who have a disability that prevents them from working.
- For those who require assistance with their SASSA applications or have any queries related to the agency's grants, there are various channels available for communication. SASSA has a toll-free hotline that can be reached by phone or email, as well as social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook. The agency also has physical offices located throughout the country where applicants can receive assistance in person.
- Overall, SASSA's work in June highlights the agency's ongoing commitment to providing support to those in need, particularly during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the recent civil unrest. Through their various grant programs and accessible application processes, SASSA aims to make a positive impact on the lives of South Africans who are struggling to make ends meet.
