SASSA Online Application 2025: Apply for Social Grants

If you are a South African citizen without a job and want to apply online for funding, you should use the Sassa online application to apply for the R350 award. An SRD grant will give you financial support if you are in an economic crisis and cannot care for your family’s essential requirements. The SRD R350 grant was first announced in May 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result of numerous job losses, company closures, and other financial issues, it was extended until March 25, 2025.

The Sassa online application is available for various social grant categories, such as SRD R350, child support, and subsidies for older people. You may apply for the Sassa SRD R350 awards in several ways. Let’s examine it in more depth.
