The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) continues to support millions of South Africans through its Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, commonly known as the R370 Sassa grant. If you are one of the approved beneficiaries, knowing your exact payment date is key to planning ahead.
Sassa urges all SRD recipients to perform a status check to confirm when they will receive their grant for April 2025.
R370 SRD Grant Payment Dates for April 2025
Sassa has confirmed that April 2025 SRD payments will be made during the last week of the month, as follows:
Payment Window:
25 April 2025 to 30 April 2025
This timeline applies only to beneficiaries approved for April 2025. The delay between approval and payment allows Sassa to complete necessary verification checks to ensure grants are only paid to eligible individuals.
How to Check Your SRD Grant Payment Date
To find out when your SRD grant will be paid, follow these simple steps:
- Visit the official Sassa SRD website: https://srd.sassa.gov.za
- Go to the “Status Check” section
- Enter your ID number and the cellphone number used during application
- Receive an OTP (One-Time Pin) and enter it to verify
- View your current payment status and date
This process allows you to track your application and see when your payment is scheduled.
When Will the Money Reflect in My Account?
Even after Sassa processes your payment, the funds may take 2–3 working days to reflect in your bank account. This is due to bank processing times, so don’t worry if your money doesn’t appear instantly.
How to Collect Your SRD Grant
You have multiple options for accessing your grant once it’s paid:
- Direct Bank Deposit – Recommended for speed and convenience
- ATM Withdrawals – Using your Sassa-linked bank card
- Retail Stores – Collect in-store at:
- Pick n Pay
- Checkers
- Shoprite
- Boxer
Important Tips for Beneficiaries
- No need to rush: Your money remains safe in your account. You don’t need to collect it on the first day.
- Verify before you go: Always do a status check to confirm payment before heading out.
- Stay informed: Avoid fake messages and rely only on updates from the official Sassa channels.
