Sassa Announcements on SRD Payments

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has publicly announced that the payments for the current cycle of the Social Relief of Distress Grant will be paid in the middle of June. This comes after numerous complaints from beneficiaries through the Sassa social media platforms about their payments.

Multiple Payments for Beneficiaries

Sassa has indicated that, they may process multiple payments for beneficiaries to cover the backlog. That means those who applied in April may be able to get their monies for April and for the other two months, May and June as part of these multiple payments.

When will Payments Be Made?

The message from the agency reads: “Payments for the new cycle of the special COVID-19 SRD grant (from April 2022) will be paid as from mid-June 2022

Outstanding Payments

The organisation continues and said “SASSA will continue clearing outstanding payments from the previous cycle as and when the bank details are confirmed.” This means that if you have not yet updated your banking details on the SRD system, you have to do so immediately.

Sassa message continues

“The payments will not be done together, but will be done month by month.
More than one payment may be made in a month, but no one will receive double payments in amount.”

Backlog clearance

“SASSA will do these multiple payments in a month until the backlog is finalized, where after monthly payments will resume.”
