srd grant application 2023-2024

Since there is no longer a National State of Disaster, the Special Relief of Distress (SRD) award is currently administered under the Social Assistance Act rather than the State of Disaster Act. What changes have been made to SRD grant applications?

It is anticipated that the SRD funding would expire in March 2023. Applications for Sassa R350 grants are accepted on a monthly basis.
