The R350 relief grant, also known as the Social Relief of Distress grant, was introduced as a temporary measure to provide financial assistance in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, it is no longer available. Nevertheless, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) continues to offer various social grants and benefits to individuals in need of financial support.

If you wish to apply for a social grant from SASSA, you must first ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria for the specific grant you are interested in. You can obtain this information by visiting the SASSA website or contacting a nearby SASSA office. Once you have confirmed your eligibility, gather all the required documentation, such as your ID or passport, proof of income, and proof of residence, as per the requirements of the grant you are applying for.

You have the option to submit your application online through the official SASSA website or in person at a SASSA office. Ensure that you have all the necessary documentation when submitting your application. After submitting your application, it is important to stay informed about its progress by contacting SASSA or checking the online status updates. It is worth noting that the application procedure and criteria may vary depending on the specific grant, so it is advisable to conduct thorough research and seek assistance if needed.
