The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has begun distributing the R370 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant for June 2024. This critical financial aid will provide much-needed support to millions of vulnerable South Africans over the next week.
Sassa confirmed that approved applicants will receive their R370 grant payments between Monday, 24 June and 29 June 2024. It's important to note that there may be a slight delay, with funds taking 2-3 business days to reflect in beneficiaries' accounts after processing.
Verifying Your SRD Grant Status
For those wanting more information about their grant, Sassa encourages beneficiaries to utilise the online SRD Grant Status Check. The status check will reveal the whether or not you grant application was approved while also revealing the exact date the funds are expected to be available in your account.
The Sassa Approval Process
Sassa employs a multi-step process to ensure the SRD grant reaches those who qualify.
- ID Verification: Sassa validates your ID number, name, and surname through the Department of Home Affairs.
- Financial Assessment: Your ID is checked against databases like SARS, UIF, and NSFAS to confirm you are not receiving other forms of government support.
- Fraud Prevention: Sassa assesses your ID and mobile number for potential fraud risks.
- Approval Decision: Following a comprehensive review, Sassa makes a final decision to approve or deny your application.
This thorough process helps guarantee that the R370 grant reaches its intended recipients – vulnerable South Africans in need of financial assistance.
