by

SASSA R350 SRD Grant 2025 : The SASSA R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant remains a lifeline for millions of unemployed South Africans. Moving into October 2025, SASSA has now put out the official payments calendar for the recipients. If you wish to avoid any delays and to be able to safely collect the grant amount, you need to know the exact dates and procedure for collecting your grant.

October 2025 Payment Schedule

R350 SRD payments will continue from the second week of October 2025. Unlike permanent or old-age and disability pensions, SRD payments are done in batches, meaning beneficiaries would not all be receiving their money on the same day.

SASSA has confirmed that payments should be made between Monday, 13 October and Friday, 17 October 2025. After the issuing of payments, funds will reflect in the accounts of beneficiaries within 2-3 working days according to whichever bank the receivers bank with.

How To Track Your R350 Payment

Beneficiaries can check the status of their R350 SRD Grant application and payment on their own. Here is the way:

  • Go to the SASSA SRD website.
  • Type in your South African ID number and the cellphone number you provided during your application.
  • Hit “Check Status” to learn whether your payment has been approved and when it would reflect.

Alternatively, call the SASSA helpline or get updates via WhatsApp.

Ways To Access Your R350 Grant

Beneficiaries can collect the money through either of the following avenues:

  • Debit directly into an individual’s bank account (fastest and safest way).
  • SASSA gold card withdrawals at designated ATM points.
  • Employ retail partners such as Shoprite, Boxer, Pick n Pay, and Checkers.

Wherever possible, SASSA advises recipients to use bank accounts to avoid long queues and waiting times at retail outlets.

Important Reminders For October 2025

  • Correctly filling one’s personal details in the SASSA system will avoid any possible delays.
  • In the case of pending applications, one must keep on checking the status of the application because the approval process occurs once a month.
  • If a person was not able to withdraw their money by the specified date, the funds would stay there because they do not expire.
