350 relief grant 2023-2024

350 relief grant 2023-2024

The R350 relief grant, also known as the Social Relief of Distress grant, was introduced in May 2020 by the South African government in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant was aimed at providing temporary relief to those who were in dire need of financial assistance due to the pandemic and the economic impact it had on the country.

The grant was available to unemployed South African citizens and permanent residents who were not receiving any other form of income support, such as social grants or UIF benefits. The grant was paid out monthly and was initially meant to be in place for a period of six months, from May to October 2020.

The grant was extended twice, first until January 2021 and then until April 2021, as the pandemic continued to impact the country’s economy. However, in April 2021, it was announced that the grant would not be extended any further.

During the period that the grant was available, it provided much-needed relief to millions of South Africans who were struggling to make ends meet due to the pandemic. However, it also faced some criticism for its limited coverage and the fact that it was not enough to cover basic living expenses.

Despite the fact that the R350 relief grant is no longer available, there are still other forms of financial assistance available to those who are struggling financially due to the pandemic. These include the various social grants provided by SASSA, as well as the UIF benefits available to those who have lost their jobs or had their income reduced due to the pandemic. It is important for those who are struggling to seek out these forms of assistance and to stay informed about any updates or changes to these programs.
