how apply for sassa 2023-2024

The COVID-19 epidemic undoubtedly disturbed the established economic structure. As a result, many people lost their employment and other sources of income. As a response, the South African government established the COVID-19 Social Relief Of Distress Fund through SASSA (South African Social Security Agency). The money is distributed each month and can be collected at a number of places across South Africa. Fortunately, WhatsApp should make it easy to apply for the R350 SASSA award.

How do I currently submit an R350 SASSA Grant application over WhatsApp?

The following actions are required:

Simply enter (+27) 082 046 8553 into your phone’s phone book or store the number directly as +270820468553. Follow the above instructions to use WhatsApp to send Sassa a message to the phone you stored. Reply “SRD” to any messages you receive.
Following that, you will see a notification with two options for whether you are applying on your own behalf or on behalf of another person. You may therefore choose either choice 1 or choice 2.
The mail that follows will ask you for your complete name, so you must reply with it (full name simply means both your first name and last name as they appear on your ID).
This time, just say your name in response.
You will receive a connection with the award agreements on it. If you concur with the terms and conditions, kindly click the YES button. Say NO in response if you disagree.
You’ll then need to react by sharing your home location pin or your HOME ADDRESS.
In the next message, you must select your citizen status 1. SA Resident 2; Lifetime Resident Refugee 3. Choose the best response as a result.
You will receive a message containing a connection, a one-time pin (OTP), and a reference number as a result. Use that link to complete your application on GovChat or the SRD website. Remember that the link will only be active for two hours.
