How to Apply for SASSA SRD R370 Grant for June 2025

The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant remains one of South Africa’s most critical social relief programs for millions of unemployed individuals facing financial hardship. It is part of the government’s continued efforts to assist vulnerable people with no income and those unable to meet their families’ basic needs.

If you meet the eligibility criteria, you can apply for the R370 grant online using your phone or computer, eliminating the need to wait in the long queue at SASSA branches. The process for the SRD grant is also easier than applying for the SASSA social grant.

To qualify for the SRD R370 grant, you must be a South African citizen, permanent resident, or refugee residing in South Africa, aged 18 to 60 years, unemployed, and not receiving any other form of social grant or Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) benefits. You must also pass the means test with a monthly income below R624 and must not be a beneficiary of the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).

Important Note for SASSA Applications

You only need to apply once. If your SASSA application for R370 is approved, you’ll automatically be considered for the next payment cycle, unless your circumstances change. In case your R370 application is rejected, you can submit SASSA reconsideration request within 90 days or update your details in a reapplication.
