The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) SRD R350 grant has been a lifeline for many South Africans during difficult times.
If your application was previously declined or if you haven’t applied in a while, you need to understand the reapplication process.
Who Needs to Reapply for the SRD R350 Grant?
Anyone who previously received the SRD R350 grant and wishes to continue receiving it needs to reapply at the designated intervals.
This is not the same as appealing a rejected application. Reapplication confirms your ongoing eligibility for the grant.
When to Reapply for the SRD R350 Grant?
SASSA will notify you when it’s time to reapply. This notification will be sent via SMS to the mobile number you used during your initial application.
The message will include clear instructions and deadlines for reconfirmation. It’s important to note that SASSA has moved away from a monthly application process.
How to Reapply for the SRD R350 Grant Online
The most convenient way to reapply for the SRD R350 grant is online. This is a brief guide to help you:
- Visit the SASSA SRD website: https://srd.sassa.gov.za/.
- Click on the button labeled “Reconfirm your grant application” or similar wording.
- Enter your South African ID number and the mobile number you used during your initial application.
- You will receive a one-time PIN (OTP) via SMS. Enter this PIN in the designated field.
- Carefully review your pre-populated information on the screen. Ensure all details, including your banking information, are accurate. You can update any incorrect details at this stage.
- Answer the short means test questions truthfully and completely.
- Once you’ve confirmed everything is correct, submit your application.
Verifying Your Application Status
After submitting your reapplication, you can track its status using the same SASSA SRD website.
You’ll need your ID number and mobile number to log in and view the application status.
You must ensure you have a valid South African ID document and have your mobile phone with the registered number handy.
Your bank account details should be accurate if you choose a bank deposit as your payment method.
Answer the means test questions honestly and remember that providing false information can lead to disqualification.
Can I reapply for the SRD R350 grant if my application was rejected?
If your initial application was rejected due to incorrect information or not meeting the eligibility criteria, you can reapply by addressing the issues and submitting a new application during the designated reapplication period.
Is there a deadline for reapplying for the SRD R350 grant?
Yes, SASSA will specify deadlines for reconfirmation in their SMS notification.
Missing the deadline may result in a delay or interruption in receiving your grant.
And while online application is preferred, you can visit your nearest SASSA office to inquire about alternative reapplication methods.
How long does it take to receive the SRD R350 grant after reapplying?
Processing times can vary, but SASSA typically aims to disburse funds within a few weeks after successful reapplication.
What if my circumstances change after reapplying?
If your employment status or financial situation changes significantly after reapplying, you are not obligated to inform SASSA.
However, be aware that SASSA may conduct further assessments in the future to ensure continued eligibility.
