Every month, millions of South Africans rely on the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, also known as the R370 grant, distributed by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa). This article provides crucial information about July 2024 SRD grant payments, including eligibility, payment dates, and how to check your application status.
When to Expect Your July 2024 SRD Grant Payment
Sassa has announced that SRD grant payments for July 2024 will be disbursed between Friday, 25 July and Tuesday, 30 July 2024. However, it's important to note that payments are processed after Sassa completes verification checks.
This means the exact date your grant is reflected in your account may vary. Beneficiaries are urged to check their Sassa status for the exact date they can expect their Sassa payment to reflect in their bank accounts.
Who Qualifies for the July 2024 SRD Grant?
Only individuals who applied for the SRD grant and received approval from Sassa will receive payment in July. To confirm your application status, you can use the Sassa SRD website.
How to Check Your SRD Grant Application Status
Here's a step-by-step guide to checking your SRD grant application status:
- Visit the official Sassa SRD website ([link to Sassa SRD website]).
- Navigate to the "Application Status" section.
- Enter your valid South African ID number and the phone number you used during the application.
- Click "Check Status".
- If prompted, enter the one-time PIN (OTP) sent via SMS to view your status.
Beware of Fake Websites!
Sassa warns applicants against using unofficial websites claiming to offer SRD status checks. These websites often collect personal information, putting you at risk of fraud. Always use official Sassa websites with the .gov.za domain extension for secure status checks.
