The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant is a vital support system provided by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) to assist individuals in need.
To ensure that grant recipients receive important updates and notifications regarding their grant, it is essential to keep their contact information up to date.
Importance of Keeping Contact Information Up to Date
Keeping your contact information up to date is essential to ensure that you receive important notifications and updates regarding your SRD grant.
If your contact information is not up to date, you may miss important notifications, which could result in delays or disruptions to your grant payments.
Consequences of Not Updating Contact Information
Failure to update your contact information can result in missed notifications, delayed payments, and even grant cancellation.
If SASSA is unable to contact you due to outdated contact information, they may assume that you are no longer eligible for the grant or that you have abandoned your grant application.
