The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has continued to provide financial assistance to those who are most in need during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In May, SASSA continued to pay out the R350 special relief grant to qualifying applicants who have lost their source of income due to the pandemic.
- The R350 grant is a temporary measure designed to provide financial assistance to those who are unemployed and not receiving any other form of income or social grant. It is paid out monthly for a period of up to six months, subject to review and extension based on the ongoing impact of the pandemic.
- To be eligible for the R350 grant, applicants must meet certain criteria, including being a South African citizen, being unemployed, not receiving any other form of income or social grant, and not residing in a government-funded institution. Applicants must also provide their personal and banking details, as well as information about their employment status, income, and expenses.
- The application process for the R350 grant is primarily online, through the official SASSA website or the SASSA mobile app. Applicants who are unable to apply online can also visit their nearest SASSA office for assistance with the application process.
- SASSA has also introduced measures to ensure that payments are made promptly and securely to eligible applicants. Payments are made directly into the bank accounts of applicants who have provided their banking details, with the first payment made within a few days of approval. Those who do not have a bank account can receive their payments through a special cash payment system at designated pay points.
- In addition to the R350 grant, SASSA also provides a range of other social grants to assist those who are most in need. These include grants for the elderly, disability grants, child support grants, and foster care grants. The application process and eligibility criteria for these grants may vary, and applicants are encouraged to consult with SASSA or visit their nearest SASSA office for assistance.
- Overall, the continued payment of the R350 special relief grant in May highlights the ongoing commitment of SASSA to provide financial assistance to those who are most in need during these challenging times. By providing timely and secure payments, and simplifying the application process, SASSA is helping to ensure that more people can access the financial support they need to get through this difficult period.
