Since the National State of Disaster is no longer in effect, there are new regulations for the Sassa R350 grant. Here is the procedure for requesting an R350 reward under the new rules.

Applications for the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant are still being accepted, however they must be submitted by March 2019. One of the most popular ways to submit an application for an SRD award is online.

The South African government created a new Sassa grant called the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) award, popularly known as the R350 grant, in response to Covid-19 and its effects on the economy.
