Sassa Reapplication for R350

My heart pounded as I walked up to the SASSA office. It was a hot day, and the line already stretched down the block.

I’d received that message a few weeks ago, the one telling me my R350 grant had stopped and I had to reapply.

I was nervous, and worried about filling out the forms wrong or not having the right papers.

See, I’m not great with all this technology stuff. My phone is old, and sometimes I forget how to even check my messages.

When the grant first started, my neighbour helped me apply online, but I’m on my own this time. I took a deep breath and squeezed my ID in my hand.

I guess today is the day I figure out how to do this reapplication thing.

Keep in mind: The South African government has updated the rules and requirements related to the SRD R350 grant.

This means even if you received it before, you likely need to reapply to show you still qualify under the new system.

Before You Start

• Internet access: You’ll need a phone, tablet, or computer with an internet connection to do this.
• ID Number: Have your South African ID number ready.
• Phone Number: Make sure the phone number you used to apply before is still active. You’ll get an SMS (text message) on it.
