If you\u2019re unemployed, not receiving any other SASSA grant, and want financial relief, the SRD (Social Relief of Distress) grant, often called the \u201cR370 grant,\u201d may be for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article explains how to apply in 2025, how to check your status, what the eligibility rule is, and how the payment process works.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the SRD \/ R370 Grant and who qualifies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The SRD grant is a monthly payment from SASSA designed to assist people who are in distress and meet certain eligibility criteria. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amount commonly referred to as \u201cR370\u201d per month in 2025 is meant to support those with no other grant income.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To qualify (in 2025) you typically must:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. Be a South African citizen, or permanent resident, or an asylum\/refugee permit holder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Be between approximately 18 and 59 years old (those 60+ should apply for Older Persons Grant).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Not receive any other permanent SASSA grant for yourself (though child grants may not affect you).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Be unemployed or with extremely limited income\/assets (meaning test applies).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Reside in South Africa and not be living permanently in a state institution.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Meeting these criteria makes you eligible to apply. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    If you submit an application and it is approved, you will be included in the monthly payment cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    How do you apply for the SRD R370 Grant in 2025?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    In 2025, SASSA has opened online application portals for the SRD grant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    For example, applications for June 2025 were announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Steps to apply:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Go to the official SASSA SRD portal<\/a>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Choose your category (South African citizen \/ permanent resident\/asylum seeker).<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Enter your ID number (or permit\/file number) and mobile phone number that will be registered.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. Provide required information: personal details, income\/assets, banking or payment method.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    5. Submit the application.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    6. Wait for verification and status changes.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      Make sure your banking or payment method is correct and your mobile number is active \u2014 SASSA uses those for status updates and payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      How do you check your SRD R370 Grant status?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Once you have applied, you can track your application and payment status via several official methods:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        \n
      1. Online portal: Visit srd.sassa.gov.za<\/a>, go to \u201cCheck Status\u201d, enter your ID and registered mobile number.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. WhatsApp \/ SMS: Send your query to the official SASSA number (for example 082 046 8553) with your ID and phone number to retrieve status details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      3. USSD \/ phone check: On your registered phone dial a code (for example 1203210#) and follow the prompts to view your status.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      4. Call centre: Use SASSA\u2019s helpline (e.g., 0800 60 10 11) to get assistance.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

        By checking your status, you\u2019ll know if your application is \u201cApproved\u201d, \u201cPending\u201d, \u201cDeclined\u201d, or needs more details (banking\/verification).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

        What do status results mean and what to do next?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        When you check your status you may see:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          \n
        1. Approved: Your application has been accepted. You should see or wait for payment date details.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        2. Pending \/ Under Review: Verification is still underway (income, assets, identity, bank). Wait or supply missing info.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        3. Declined \/ Rejected: Your application did not meet criteria (e.g., income too high, another grant active, incorrect details). You may be able to appeal.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
        4. Bank Details Pending: You are approved, but your bank account or payment method needs to be verified before you get payment.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

          If your status shows \u201cPending\u201d or \u201cBank Details Pending\u201d, check that your banking and personal information are correct and up to date, and respond to any verification requests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

          When will you be paid if your SRD R370 application is approved?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

          For SRD payments in 2025, SASSA uses a monthly payment window usually at the end of the month rather than a fixed day. For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
