SASSA Reapplication: We have met Africans who have benefitted from the relief of distress grants for going through some challenges in their lives. Some of them are still having difficulties, as they need more support. This was the reason why we decided to give you this blog post so you know what’s required before reapplying your application for social relief of distress grant.
You probably have received a letter from the government or even read on social media, informing you that your home has been declared a disaster area under the new Social Aid Act.
If so, you might be wondering what this means and how this impacts your situation. The process will have varied depending on the individual circumstances but there are a few things that may apply across the board.
SASSA Reapplication
The Social Assistance Grant is a grant that an individual qualifies to receive when they are unemployed or their family loses their job, due to sicknesses or other reasons. An individual can apply for a grant if they have been unemployed for more than 3 months and are unable to keep themselves and their family in accommodation as provided for by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA).
The application for your grant needs to be through the official channel, which is in this case the SARS website. But there’s a catch. You must only have one application through any channel and not multiple applications just because you want to get it done quickly. The application must be in the form of letter writing, otherwise, it will not be accepted.
The Sassa R350 Grant – How To Reapply
It is possible for you to reapply for the grant through the Sassa website: srd.sassa.gov.za/sc19/application/auth.
You can reapply at the following times:
The application for the R350 grant is now open for reapplication. You must confirm that you fit the eligibility criteria before resubmitting the Sassa application:
- Beneficiaries must be South African citizens, permanent residents, refugees, asylum seekers, or holders of special permits
- No employment is currently available for the applicant
- Lack of financial resources or income sources
- Between 18 and 60 years of age is the applicant’s age
Online status checks are also available after the successful submission of your application.
Sassa has now fixed a threshold for the applicant’s income, which means that the individual salary must be below the threshold price.
When you apply for a pension in South Africa, it can be a confusing process. There are many forms to fill out and questions to answer. One of the most important documents that need to be signed is your consent to share personal information with Sassa. The receipt should be taken away from the Coordinator and sent back to Sassa so that they can check whether you are eligible for such a payment scheme or not.
Final Words
However, unlike other kinds of grants which are meant to supplement income, the R350 Social Relief of Distress Grant is aimed at helping those who find themselves in dire financial straits and need urgent assistance this is why it’s being referred to as interim assistance or emergency relief.
