SASSA R370 SRD Grant Payment: According to SASSA, payment for the R370 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant for August 2025 will be from 25 to 30 August during the last week of August, thereby allowing beneficiaries to confidently manage important expenses like rent, groceries, or medical needs.
What You Need To Know
The SRD grant does not follow the customary grant cycle of the Older Persons, Disability, and Child Support grants being paid in the first week. Instead, SRD grants are processed during the last few days of each month. The funds will start to be released into beneficiaries’ accounts from 25th August, depending on the banking infrastructure, thus giving you assurance of sufficient time to plan ahead to accommodate essential payments.
How You Will Receive It
Payment services are as follows:
- Bank deposits to your registered bank account
- Withdrawals from the SASSA Gold/Black card at any ATM
- Cash collection from approved post offices or retailers
Withdraw funds only when working for you to avoid long queues since the funds will remain available after only one payout.
What To Do Before Payout
- Verify or update your banking details through the SASSA SRD portal or by visiting a SASSA office.
- Track your payment status via SMS alerts, official website, or Moya/SASSA app.
- Prepare to collect between 25–30 August, setting reminders to ensure you are ready to receive your funds.
- Be alert to reviews or verification processes for which beneficiaries under review may get paid slightly later.
- Beware of scams: SASSA will never ask you for any fee, OTPs, or personal information to process your grant.
Why It Matters
The R370 SRD grant aids South Africans aged between 18 and 59 who are unemployed and are not receiving other social assistance. Knowing the timing of their payments helps ease their burdens and relieve the pressure on paypoints. The newly added extension, effective through March 2026, maintains this reliable R370 SRD grant as an effective safety net.
