Heres how many non sa citizens have applied for the r350 srd grant
I'm not aware of any publicly available information on the exact number of non-South African citizens who have applied for the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is responsible for administering the grant, and they may not publicly disclose this information.
However, I can provide some context and statistics on the R350 SRD grant:
- The R350 SRD grant is a temporary social assistance grant introduced by the South African government in 2020 to provide financial support to individuals who are in dire need of assistance due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
- The grant is open to South African citizens and permanent residents who are in receipt of a means-tested social grant, or who are in receipt of a disability grant, or who are in receipt of an old age pension, or who are in receipt of a war veteran's pension.
- Non-South African citizens are not eligible to apply for the R350 SRD grant, as it is a social assistance grant intended for South African citizens and permanent residents.
- As of March 2022, SASSA had paid out over R100 billion in R350 SRD grants to over 10 million beneficiaries.
- The grant is paid out monthly, and the payment period is from April 2020 to March 2022.
It's worth noting that SASSA has implemented various measures to prevent fraud and ensure that the grant is only paid to eligible beneficiaries. These measures include biometric verification, income verification, and verification of identity documents.
