Bybursariesafrica

SASSA supports several vulnerable South Africans through various social grants, including the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.

This grant provides temporary financial assistance to individuals who are unemployed and meet specific criteria.

Knowing your payment dates is essential to ensure you can access these funds when needed.

When will the next R350 SASSA payment be?

SASSA does not announce the specific payment dates for all recipients at once.

However, SASSA has indicated that payments for the new cycle began in mid-June 2024.

They are also clearing outstanding payments from the previous cycle.

How can I check my specific R350 SASSA payment date?

There are several ways to check your specific R350 SASSA payment date:

  1. Online: The most convenient method is through the official SASSA SRD website. Visit the website, click on “Your SASSA SRD R350 Status Details,” and enter your South African ID number and mobile phone number used during application. The system will display your application history, including any upcoming payment dates.
  2. Phone Call: If you don’t have internet access, you can call the SASSA toll-free number: 0800 60 10 11. Use the same phone number you used during your application. The automated system will guide you through the process to check your status and upcoming payment date.
  3. SMS: You can send an SMS with the following format: “SASSA Status <ID Number>” to 082 046 8553. SASSA will then send you an SMS response with your application status, including any upcoming payment dates.
  4. Moya App: The SASSA Moya App allows you to manage your SASSA grant information. Download the app, register, and log in using your ID number and mobile number. Once logged in, you can access your application details, including upcoming payment dates (if applicable).
  5. SASSA Local Offices: While not the most efficient method, you can visit your nearest SASSA local office to inquire about your R350 payment date. Be prepared for potential waiting times.

Does SASSA status Pending mean I won’t receive the R350 grant?

A “pending” status on your SASSA application might not necessarily mean you won’t receive the grant.

It could indicate that SASSA is still processing your application or verifying your details.

These are some reasons why your status might be pending:

  1. Your application is still under review.
  2. SASSA requires additional information from you.
  3. There might be a discrepancy with your banking details.

If your application has been pending for an extended period, it’s advisable to contact SASSA for further clarification.

You can do this through the phone number mentioned above or by visiting your local SASSA office.

How can I update them for my R350 SASSA payment?

You need to keep your banking details updated with SASSA to ensure smooth grant payments.

This is how to update your bank details:

  1. Online: Visit the SASSA SRD website. Click on “Banking Details” and then “Add Banking Details.” Enter your new bank account details and follow the on-screen instructions to submit the update.
  2. SASSA Local Office: You can also visit your nearest SASSA local office with your updated bank information and ID document. A SASSA representative will assist you in updating your details.

How will I receive my R350 payment?

SASSA offers two primary methods for receiving your R350 grant:

  1. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT): If you have a registered bank account, the funds will be deposited directly into your account.
  2. Post Office Pickup: If you don’t have a bank account, SASSA will send a notification via SMS informing you that your R350 grant is available for collection at your chosen post office branch. You’ll need your South African ID document to collect the funds.

Can I appeal a rejected SASSA SRD application?

Yes, you have the right to appeal a rejected SASSA SRD application.
