The grant is intended to provide temporary relief for those who have lost their income or have been otherwise impacted by the pandemic. In this blog,
we will discuss the steps for reapplying for the SASSA SRD R350 grant in 2023.
Eligibility Requirements
To be eligible for the SASSA SRD R350 grant, you must meet certain criteria. These include:

- Being 18 years of age or older
- Not receiving any other form of a social grant or government support
- Having a combined household income that does not exceed R350 per month
- Having been impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as losing your job or having your income reduced
It is important to note that these criteria may change or be updated, so it is important to check the SASSA website for the most current information.
How to Apply
To apply for the SASSA SRD R350 grant, you will need to gather certain documentation and information. This includes:
- A valid South African ID or passport
- Proof of income, such as a payslip or bank statement
- Proof of residence, such as a utility bill or rental agreement
- Proof of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on your income, such as a letter from your employer
Once you have gathered all of the necessary documentation, you can apply for the grant online through the SASSA website, or in person at a SASSA office. You will need to provide all of the required documentation as well as any other information requested by SASSA.
The SASSA reapplication process
Unemployment or a family member losing their job due to sickness or another cause qualifies an individual for the Social Assistance Grant. A grant application can be made by an individual who has been unemployed for more than three months and is unable to keep themselves and their family in SASSA-provided housing.
To apply for a grant, you must do so through the official channel, which in this case is the SARS website. There is, however, a catch. The only application you need to make is one, regardless of the channel, and not multiple applications just for the sake of speed. Letters are required for the application, otherwise, it will not be accepted.
