Key Details to Remember
-
Grants under review: If your funds do not reflect on the standard date, they may process on Friday, 7 August due to an administrative review. You will need to visit your nearest SASSA office before the 18th of the following month with updated supporting documents (proof of income, marital status, ID) to resolve the review.
-
SRD Grant (R370): Social Relief of Distress grant payments do not have a fixed single day and are processed progressively throughout the month after status checks are approved.
-
No rush: Once funds are deposited into your account, the money remains in your bank account until you withdraw or spend it.
