R350 grant dates for April 2022

No new R350 social relief of distress (SRD) grant applications will be processed until Covid-19 regulations have been amended.

In February, President Cyril Ramaphosa extended the grant until March 2023. “Since the state of disaster ended, the grant now has to be included under the Social Assistance Act. Sassa cannot process applications without making sure that the law is followed. Speaking on SAfm, Letsatsi said new applications for grants will be processed only after the government amends the regulations to shift it from the Disaster Management Act to the Social Assistance Act.
