sassa stress relief grant 2023-2024

The SASSA stress relief grant was a once-off grant of R350 that was introduced by the South African government in May 2020 to assist individuals who were struggling financially due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The grant was intended to provide temporary relief to unemployed individuals who were not receiving any other form of income or social grant.

To qualify for the SASSA stress relief grant, applicants had to be South African citizens or permanent residents, and they had to be unemployed and not receiving any form of income or social grant. Applicants also had to be between the ages of 18 and 59, and they had to provide proof of their identity, residency, and income status.

The SASSA stress relief grant was only available for a limited period of time, and applications had to be submitted by a certain deadline. The grant was paid out in the form of a cash payment, which was made directly to the applicant’s bank account.

While the SASSA stress relief grant was intended to provide some relief to individuals who were struggling financially, it was a once-off payment and was not intended to provide long-term financial support. Individuals who continue to face financial difficulties due to the COVID-19 pandemic are encouraged to seek other forms of assistance, such as social grants or employment opportunities.

It is important to note that the SASSA stress relief grant was only available for a limited period of time, and the application deadline has since passed. If you are in need of financial assistance, you may still be eligible for other forms of support through SASSA, such as the old age grant, disability grant, child support grant, or grant-in-aid. Contact your nearest SASSA office for more information on eligibility requirements and application procedures.
