How do I Begin the SASSA Online Application Process for 2023 for My R350 Payments

How to Apply for Sassa SRD Grant Online for the r350 benefit using the website? There are two main channels used to apply online for the r350 grant including the guide on how to use them on this page. They include using the main srd website to apply or using the gov-chat website. All other platforms redirect you to these main application portals. The srd website, in particular, is where we advise you to visit in order to complete your submission process.

Using the first channel is easy and simple. All you need to do is visit the sassa srd website on your phone or laptop. Then scroll down on the device to the tab on applications. Select the apply now link and begin the process. You will be asked for your identification number as a South African. Your active phone number to receive sms alerts from the agency, your name as seen exactly on your identity cards.

And finally, bank details will be requested to enable payments to be made to you for each month till the programme is closed in march of 2024. The second channel to use is the gov chat portal. Visiting this portal is similar to the main website. Your identification number, as well as phone number, will be requested. This is used to create a profile login for you so you can use that to complete your applications. Take note that this portal offers more than sassa’s application for grants relief payments.

The other means to use to commence your applications are the whatsapp and Facebook messenger platforms. Just visit any and send sassa as the only text to them. The whatsapp uses the main office number there. Check out our sassa contact us page to know more. Facebook messenger platform used is the one linked to the official govchat page. Take note it has over 74,00 followers and likes. Once you find the page, just send them a message on the messenger platform and you will be given the official link to complete your entire application process.

After completing your applications and submitting them, check to see that it sends you an sms that your account is active first and foremost. Then you check the status of the application to know if you’ve been approved or not. Visit our ‘how to’ pages below to know the processes to use for each status check platform and what to do after checking your status.

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in 2021 reopened the r350 application once again after the address from the President following the unrests that occurred across the nation in July. These widespread disruptions led to the distraction of property for businesses and people alike.

The application period is expected to be open till next year 2024. This time around according to the agency, a whole new database is what is going to be used which means it doesn’t matter if you applied last year and were even paid.

As long as you still meet the qualification criteria, you will be approved to receive the amount specified. If you find that you have been denied or disapproved by the agency, do well to visit the main site and apply for a reconsideration.

Reconsideration is all about you re-applying again for the relief grant by updating your details and submitting the information. You will be reassessed to know if you meet the criteria and you are found to meet it, you will be approved for payment and a payment date will be assigned to you.
