As a former recipient of the Sassa grant, I know the importance of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant in supporting millions of South Africans in need.

The SRD grant, distributed by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa), helps unemployed individuals aged 18 to 59, providing a monthly stipend of R370.

Resolving Common Issues

During my time as a beneficiary, I encountered some challenges. Here are common issues and solutions:

• Missing banking details: Update your bank account information on the Sassa website.
• Postbank accounts: Sassa no longer opens Postbank accounts; update your banking details.
• Cash Send/Mobile Money: Ensure correct ID and cellphone numbers to avoid delays.
• Alternative banking options: Consider direct bank deposit or supermarket pickup.

If none of these solutions apply, contact the Sassa Customer Care Call Centre at 0800 60 10 11.

Sassa offers two convenient options:

1. Direct Bank Deposit: Receive your grant directly into your bank account.
2. Supermarket Pickup: Collect your grant in cash at authorized supermarkets like Pick n Pay, Boxer, Checkers, USave, OKAY, or Spar.
