How Long After Approval To Receive SRD Grant

The Special COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant is a vital financial assistance program provided by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) to support vulnerable individuals affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.

After submitting an application, one of the most frequently asked questions is how long it takes to receive the grant after approval.
