Sassa latest news update today about r350 grant continuation

I'm happy to help you with the latest news update on the R350 grant continuation!

As of today, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced that the R350 grant, also known as the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, will be extended until March 2023.

According to SASSA's statement, the grant will continue to be paid to eligible recipients until March 31, 2023, pending the outcome of the ongoing review and evaluation of the grant.

The R350 grant was initially introduced in May 2020 to provide financial assistance to individuals who were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant has been extended several times since its introduction, and the latest extension is aimed at providing continued support to those who need it most.

To be eligible for the R350 grant, applicants must meet certain criteria, including being a South African citizen or permanent resident, being 18 years or older, and not receiving any other social grant or pension. Applicants must also provide proof of income and other supporting documents.

If you are currently receiving the R350 grant, you do not need to reapply or take any further action to continue receiving the grant. However, if you are not currently receiving the grant and believe you may be eligible, you can apply online through the SASSA website or visit your nearest SASSA office.

I hope this update is helpful!
