Millions of South Africans rely on the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant to make ends meet. Every month, thousands apply for the R370 grant, and those who qualify receive financial assistance from the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa).
If your application for February 2025 is approved, you’ll be able to collect your SRD grant through various payment options.
With the R370 grant set to end in March 2025, beneficiaries should stay informed about payment dates and collection methods to avoid any delays. Here’s everything you need to know about SRD grant payments for February 2025.
Payment Dates
Sassa typically disburses SRD grants in the last week of each month. Payments for February 2025 will be made between 24 February and 28 February.
Before receiving payments, Sassa verifies applicants to ensure that only those who meet the eligibility criteria receive funds.
To avoid confusion, beneficiaries are encouraged to check their SRD grant status regularly to confirm approval and the exact payment date.
