The temporary R350 relief grant, also known as the Social Relief of Distress grant, is no longer available as it was intended as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic during a specific time period. However, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) continues to offer other social grants and benefits to individuals in need of financial assistance.

To apply for social grants through SASSA, please follow these guidelines:

• Confirm your eligibility: Each social grant has specific eligibility criteria. It is important to verify if you meet the requirements before submitting an application. You can find detailed information about eligibility criteria on the SASSA website or by reaching out to your nearest SASSA office.
• Gather the necessary documents: When applying for a social grant, you will need to provide various documents such as your identification document (ID) or passport, proof of income, proof of residence, and any other relevant documents required for the specific grant you are applying for.
• Submit your application: You have the option to submit your application online through the official SASSA website or in person by visiting the nearest SASSA office. If you choose to submit your application in person, ensure that you bring along all the required documentation.
• Track your application: It is essential to keep track of the progress of your application, as the processing time may vary. You can check the status of your application online or get in touch with SASSA for updates.

Please note that the application process and requirements may differ depending on the specific social grant you are applying for. It is advisable to conduct thorough research and seek assistance from SASSA or relevant organizations if you need help with the application process.
