After months of waiting, beneficiaries of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant found out that they will soon receive outstanding grant payments for successful reconsideration requests. This means outstanding payments for June and the backlog related to April and May will also be addressed.

As the month of June begins, approved beneficiaries of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R350 grant will qualify for a new round of payments. However, some grant beneficiaries have not been paid for the past two months. 

It has been almost three months since unemployed individuals in South Africa received the crucial R350 grant. This is due to the rules around the grant’s disbursement changing after the National State of Disaster was lifted.

After almost a year of waiting, beneficiaries of the R350 grant could finally have access to their money. This follows an announcement stating that the process that was preventing reconsideration request payments has been concluded.

It was recently revealed that many of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R350 grant requirements were changed. This means that some individuals who previously benefited from the grant no longer qualify for the crucial relief mechanism.
