In order to access or have your SRD grant application taken into account, an applicant must permit Sassa to verify their identify, residency, income, or social security benefits. The declaration and consent must also be accepted by applicants.
A new application under the revised Act is encouraged for current beneficiaries. Once you’ve submitted an application, you won’t need to do it again.
Applicants are asked to submit just one application, rather than several applications across many platforms. You will get confirmation as soon as the application has been submitted correctly.
Sassa must then decide whether to accept or reject any SRD grant applications submitted by the 15th of the month. After that, the receivers will receive an SMS informing them of their acceptance or rejection.
