SASSA, which stands for the South African Social Security Agency, is the government agency responsible for administering social benefits to South Africans.

SASSA manages grants and allowances for vulnerable groups in South African society, including youth, elderly, and disabled individuals. In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, SASSA is also responsible for providing the R350 special Social Relief of Distress (SRD) payment.

There are various methods for receiving SASSA payments, including CashSend, SASSA card, Post Office, or bank account. The purpose of the SASSA stipend is to assist with covering essential expenses.

The srd.sassa.gov.za website serves multiple functions, including the submission of SASSA R350 applications and checking the status of your SASSA SRD. If your SASSA grant application has been previously rejected, you can also use the SRD appeal website for another opportunity.
