The SRD (Social Relief of Distress) grant is a once-off grant of R350 (South African Rand) that was introduced by SASSA (South African Social Security Agency) to assist individuals who are in need of financial relief due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Here are some key details about the SRD SASSA 350 grant:

• Eligibility: To qualify for the SRD SASSA 350 grant, you must be a South African citizen or permanent resident, be unemployed, not receiving any other form of income, and not receiving any other social grant from the government.
• Application process: You can apply for the SRD SASSA 350 grant online or via WhatsApp. The online application requires you to register and create a profile, after which you can complete the application form and submit any necessary supporting documents. The WhatsApp application involves sending a message to a designated SASSA number and providing your ID number and other information.
• Payment: If your application for the SRD SASSA 350 grant is approved, the payment will be made via bank transfer or cash send. You will receive a notification via SMS or email once the payment has been made.
• Duration: The SRD SASSA 350 grant is a once-off payment and is not renewable. However, the government has extended the grant several times since its introduction in 2020.
• Reapplication: If you received the SRD SASSA 350 grant in the past, you may be eligible to reapply if you are still in need of financial assistance.

It is important to note that the SRD SASSA 350 grant is intended to provide temporary financial relief during the COVID-19 pandemic and is not a permanent source of income. If you are in need of ongoing financial support, you may be eligible for other social grants offered by SASSA, such as the child support grant or disability grant.
