The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R350 grant was introduced by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) in response to economic hardships faced by unemployed citizens during challenging times. This grant provides R350 per month to eligible South African citizens, permanent residents, and refugees who are unemployed and not receiving income from any other source.
Initially introduced as a temporary measure, the SRD R350 grant has been extended multiple times and is currently set to continue until March 2026. The grant aims to provide financial assistance to those most vulnerable in society who do not qualify for other social grants offered by SASSA.
