The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has been providing the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant to unemployed South Africans who are struggling to make ends meet during the pandemic. The grant is worth R350 per month and is paid out every month to eligible applicants.

• To apply for the R350 SRD grant, individuals must meet certain criteria. They must be unemployed, not receiving any other form of income or social grant, and be between the ages of 18 and 60 years old. They must also be South African citizens, permanent residents, or refugees who are registered with the Department of Home Affairs.
• Once an applicant has been approved for the R350 SRD grant, the payment will be made directly into their bank account or through the South African Post Office's special disbursement accounts. The payment dates for the R350 SRD grant are usually around the 15th of each month, but this can vary depending on weekends and public holidays.
• To check the payment status of the R350 SRD grant, applicants can visit the SASSA website or use the SASSA USSD service. The USSD service can be accessed by dialing 1347737# and following the prompts. Applicants will need to have their ID number and the cellphone number they used to apply for the grant.
• If an applicant needs to change their phone number or banking details, they can do so by visiting the SASSA website and logging into their account. From there, they can update their details and submit the changes for approval.
• It is important to note that the R350 SRD grant is temporary and will only be available until March 2022. SASSA has also implemented strict measures to prevent fraud and ensure that the grant is only given to those who meet the eligibility criteria. Any fraudulent activities related to the R350 SRD grant will be reported to the South African Police Service and legal action will be taken against those involved.

Overall, the R350 SRD grant has provided much-needed relief to thousands of unemployed South Africans during the COVID-19 pandemic. While it may not be a long-term solution, it has helped to alleviate some of the financial stress and uncertainty that many individuals are facing.
