SASSA SRD R370 August Payment Schedule: When Will You Get Paid

by

The grant for social relief of distress that amounts to R370 is set for payout from the 20th of August until the 27th of August in 2025. The payments will be made on different days of that period, which allows beneficiaries some flexibility in getting paid. 

What the R370 SRD Grant Covers

This grant is for people between the age of 18 and 60 who are unemployed or earning below the set threshold in any given month, which is generally R624. It is meant to cover basic needs such as food, transport to go to the hospital, and medicine. Candidates cannot be in receipt of any other governmental grant, such as the UIF or NSFAS. 

Why Having A Normal Schedule Matters

For one, beneficiaries can plan ahead and budget well knowing the payments will occur within a particular period around the end of the month; another benefit is it reduces pressure at payout points by managing crowd distribution throughout the week.

Staying Informed: Checking Your SRD Status

To avoid confusion or late receipt of your grant, check your SRD status weekly. SASSA has made it easy for applicants to check their SRD status by using any of the following methods:

  • Online portal: Visit the SRD status site and enter your ID and mobile number.
  • WhatsApp: Send a message to the designated number to get your status update.
  • SMS: Text your ID and status keyword to the official number.
  • Call: Use SASSA’s toll-free line for automated status.
  • Moya App: This one requires no data and offers quick access.

These options, which are hassle-free, keep applicants active about the status of their applications and the dates expected to be paid.

What You Should Do
