People are still wondering why their R350 payment hasn't been released yet. SASSA announced 'The cash send opinion is not yet available, as it is offered by the banks and Sassa is still finalizing contracting with the banks'.

By that, they advised beneficiaries to change and update their payment method, and here's how you do it:

• Visit the SRD website (www.srd.sassa.gov.za)
• Enter your ID and cellphone number to verify your account
• Follow instructions carefully

This process only applies to approved SRD beneficiaries and SASSA will not make payments with details that don't belong to the account holder.

Re-Apply for the R350 Social Grant

SASSA has announced they will not be processing new applications for the R350 covid grant. Because the government lifted the Disaster Management Act in April and allowed people to move freely without masks on the streets.

The R350 SRD was created during the pandemic, to give citizens the financial support they needed the most. But now that the regulations have changed, SASSA is waiting for the Department of Social Development to finalize and update the regulations accordingly.

However, this does not affect already-approved beneficiaries, they'll still get paid for April 2022.

However, SASSA further announced they will continue with the R350 grant and beneficiaries are welcome to re-apply. Currently, beneficiaries can only apply using WhatsApp.

"We are not going to have people be locked out because of not submitting things. As long as people submit [what they should] to us, we will process it and make sure they'll get what is due to them."

Applicants will be reviewed and considered for the SRD grant monthly.
