HOW LONG WILL YOU RECEIVE THE GRANT?
The grants are valid for one month, according to SASSA, “because it is expected that people’s lives will normalise and the other form of SRD, including R350, will still be available for people who are experiencing hardship.”
An assessment is done, and then an application will be processed immediately. The grant is then issued to the approved beneficiaries.
