The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has mandated that recipients of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) award understand the current grant collection process as payments for the month continue. Here is all the information you require.

The Social Help of Trouble Award (SRD) is available to South African citizens, exiles, refugees, and extraordinary license holders who are between the ages of 18 and 60, have limited resources, are not eligible for or contributing to the UIF installment, and have no other source of income.

As a result, you have been advised by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) that if your request for a grant of R350 has been approved, you may collect your grant payment using one of the methods specified below.

Checkers
Usave
Shoprite
Pick ‘n Pay
Boxer

Additionally, Sassa has recommended R350 grant beneficiaries to frequently check the SRD website to see how their SRD applications are progressing: https://srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/status.

In order to pick up their grants from the aforementioned stores, recipients of SRD grants are also advised to always have a registered cellphone number, preferably the one they used to apply.

Sassa has also warned beneficiaries not to go to the grant payment collection places before getting an SMS notification because their grant won’t be available.

Additionally, Sassa has stated that recipients of R350 awards are not required to collect their awards straight away and that they will be available for collection.
