As a recipient of the Special Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, it’s essential to ensure that your contact information, including your phone number, is up-to-date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This allows the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) to communicate with you effectively regarding your grant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you’ve changed your phone number, you’ll need to update it with SASSA to avoid missing important messages. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can update your SRD grant number online through the SASSA website<\/a>. To do this, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Visit the SASSA website and click on the “Apply for SRD Grant<\/a>” button. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you already have an account, log in using your username and password. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don’t have an account, create one by clicking on the “Create an Account” button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once logged in, click on the “My Applications” tab and select the SRD grant application you want to update. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on the “Update Application” button to proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On the update application page, scroll down to the “Contact Details” section. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Click on the “Edit” button next to your phone number and enter your new phone number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Make sure to double-check that the number is correct before saving the changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternatively, you can update your SRD grant number via WhatsApp. <\/p>\n\n\n\n SASSA has introduced a WhatsApp service that allows you to update your contact details, including your phone number. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To update your phone number via WhatsApp, follow these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Save the SASSA WhatsApp number (082 046 8553) on your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Send a message to the SASSA WhatsApp number with the word “SRD” followed by your ID number and your new phone number. For example: “SRD 1234567890123 0821234567”.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SASSA will send you a confirmation message once your phone number has been updated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also update your SRD grant number using the USSD service.
