There is no fixed payment date for the special Covid-19 SRD grant. The applicant will be paid for each month as long as they still meet the qualification criteria. Every month the application will be verified to ensure that the applicant still qualifies for that particular month.
Please ignore this incorrect information circulating on social media, it does not come from SASSA. We are currently finalizing systems for the new R350 grant and will publicize the procedure and criteria soon. Also note that SASSA offices are closed during the lockdown period
"The payments are effected as a single payment of R700 to cover the 2 months. Payments will be effected as far as possible in batches of 500 000 qualifying applicants per day. This will avoid system overload. We will finalise these payments by the end of this month"
