The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has released the payment dates for the R370 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant for April 2025.
HERE ARE THE R370 SRD GRANT PAYMENT DATES FOR APRIL 2025
SASSA said that the approved beneficiaries for April will be processed from 25 to 30 March.
The agency said beneficiaries are encouraged to view their status on the SRD website for the exact date that payment will reflect into their bank accounts.
Normally, funds take about two to three working days to reflect in the beneficiary’s account after payment has been processed.
SASSA GOLD CARDS REMAIN VALID
Meanwhile, SASSA has confirmed that the gold cards remain valid following a directive issued by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB).
Additionally, the issuing of the Postbank black cards has been suspended indefinitely, and card replacement sites across the country are no longer operational.
The deadline for the SASSA-issued gold cards was initially set for 31 December 2023. However, it was postponed to December 2024 and later to 28 February 2025, which was also extended to 31 May. Many beneficiaries reportedly had not yet switched to the new Postbank black cards.
Portfolio Committee on Social Development chairperson Bridget Masango said the SARB instructed Postbank, with the guidance of SASSA, to ensure that beneficiaries who have not yet migrated to the black cards can use their gold cards and receive their grants and that there is minimal disruption while they are moving to alternative sources, such as their bank of choice.
