About SASSA SRD Status Check

The R350 Social Relief Grant Payment schedule is announced each month by the South African Social Security Agency – SASSA. This is the organisation that has been put in charge of distributing and providing government assistance for the special Covid-19 Social Relief benefit. They are also responsible for disability grant recipients and child support grant beneficiaries.

SASSA Status Check SRD R350 Payment Dates for June 2023. All South Africans who have applied for and have qualified for the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant in May 2023, can expect their SRD R350 grant by June 2023. Sassa grant payments for the month of June will be available from Thursday 2 June 2023.

Why is my SASSA Status Pending?

Unfortunately, for a lot of people, when they check SASSA status online it is only showing as “pending” and they are unable to receive the R350. The official SASSA recently released the below message on 1st June 2023:

Payments for the new cycle of the special COVID-19 SRD grant (from April 2023) will be paid as from mid-June 2023.

SASSA will continue clearing outstanding payments from the previous cycle as and when the bank details are confirmed. The payments will not be done together, but will be done month by month.

More than one payment may be made in a month, but no one will receive double payments in amount. SASSA will do these multiple payments in a month until the backlog is finalized, where after monthly payments will resume.

After SRD Status Check, What is the R350 Reconsideration Process?

The reconsideration process is where they double-check the personal details and income status to make sure they are vulnerable individuals. There has recently been announcements of delays in the processing of reconsideration requests due to the longer time periods in communicating with the banks and financial institutions.

Remember, in order to receive the covid-19 grant you must not be receiving any other government covid-19 response support.

How do I have my R350 Grant reconsidered?

If you see your Covid-19 SRD R350 grant application status as ‘Reapplication Pending’ then you should follow the below steps to dispute your R350 grant status:

When does the SASSA R350 Grant End?

President Cyril Ramaphosa has stated that the Covid-19 R350 government grant and payment of grants will be extended for the next 12 months till March 2023. This was announced during the State of the Nation Address (SONA) in Cape Town on February 10.

It is hoped the Relief of Distress Grant will continue to help those people that need it most in South Africa. The grant should be seen as a temporary grant and an opportunity to help those find new career options.
