How to apply for the Sassa R350 grant 2023? The process for submitting an application for the srd funding as a new applicant involves visiting the srd website. Once there, choose the option best suitable for you. For instance, as a South African, select that option first and then proceed to click on the how to apply link provided to start. Fill out the form and follow the instructions to the end. The process should not take you more than 45 minutes at most to complete once you have all the necessary documents and required information on you.

What are the requirements to apply for the r350 grant? They are that you need to be a person of insufficient means, a South African citizen staying in the country, registered on the Department of Home Affairs database with a smart id card number, between the ages of 18 and 60, and not a resident in a government-funded or subsidised institution and finally not unreasonably refuse to accept employment or educational opportunities.

What documents and required information do I need to have to complete the application process? The completion of the application requires the applicant to have their exact personal details as is found on their identity cards, their active cellphone number, employment history information and their bank account data.

How long will it take to get a response on the submitted application? Applicants applications submitted to the agency through the main srd portal usually receive a response within 72 hours after final submission. This timeline may not be the same for everyone if the agency has a lot of submissions to deal with. It may also take longer than necessary if the information is incorrect and harder to verify. Check all required data before your final submission to ensure that it’s all correct.

The reason for the tip above is that the agency over time has noticed that several new applicants only enter the bank name without their account numbers, branch name and account type before they submit the information. This will delay payments to approved applicants and they may see approved but without a payment date.

What are the payment dates for the grant when approved? Currently, there are no fixed payment dates for applicants that have been approved for the srd grant. This is because each month is reviewed for compliance with the law on an individual basis for all the applicants.

The reason for this tip is that once you have used that cellphone number before, sassa will send an sms to that number for you to enter before you can proceed with the application or if you did not complete the process the last time so that you can complete it and submit it. This will delay you.

I receive money of more than r 350 every month, can I still be approved for funding? No, you will not get approved for payments to be made to you. This is because the income threshold set by the agency is currently the same as r 350. The maximum the agency expects you the beneficiary be receiving a month from other sources is not to exceed the threshold they have set for you.

What checks are done on my submitted application before approval or rejection? Your bio data submitted is run through a test. This test is called the verification of insufficient means. Once you fail this test you are disapproved and the reason for failing this test is given to you in your application status.

This test consists of checks against databases that may indicate income or alternative financial assistance; and verification of insufficient means with banks. Here your bank balance is checked to make sure it meets the income threshold. The current threshold is set at R350. All bank accounts must have a balance below R350.
