How To Track Your R350 Grant Application For May 2023

The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) is responsible for administering social grants to South Africans. One of the grants administered by the agency is the R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant which is provided to individuals who are unemployed and not receiving any other form of income or social assistance.

Applicants who have been approved for the R350 grant are able to choose from various payment methods to collect their grant payments. This includes collecting grants from selected supermarkets such as Shoprite, Checkers, U-Save, Pick ‘n Pay, and Boxer stores.

Beneficiaries may also opt to receive their grant payment through their personal bank account.

R350 SRD grant applications are treated as new applications every month. However, each applicant will only need to apply once in order for their application to be considered each month.

It is important that applicants keep track of their application status to see if they have been approved for the grant.
