SASSA is the government agency responsible for providing social benefits to South Africans. Its scope includes managing grants and allowances for marginalized groups in South African society, such as children, the elderly, and those with disabilities. SASSA is also responsible for distributing the R350 Award, which provides exceptional relief during times of distress, such as the Covid-19 pandemic.

SASSA employs various payment methods to distribute benefits, including CashSend, SASSA cards, the Post Office, and bank accounts, among others. These stipends are intended to cover essential expenses.

The launch of the SASSA R350 grant led to a significant influx of SRD SASSA applications submitted to srd.sassa.gov.za. The website offers various services, including the ability to check your SASSA SRD status and submit your SASSA R350 application. The SASSA website provides up-to-date banking information and other relevant details.

If a SASSA grant application is rejected after an appeal, SASSA provides another opportunity for the applicant. Visit the SRD appeal website by clicking here for more information.

To ensure the accuracy of the information provided by applicants, SASSA works with other institutions to verify it. As a result, all applicants must sign a statement and consent form.
