R350 grant recipients asked to re-apply

Just over a million people have applied for the R350 monthly COVID-19 relief grant.

JOHANNESBURG – The Department of Social Development says recipients of the R350 social relief of distress grant need to re-apply.

Following the lifting of the National State of Disaster, the grant will be provided under a new legislative framework.
President Cyril Ramaphosa announced that the grant will be extended for a year from April 2022 to March 2023.
This was during his recent State of the Nation Address.
In the coming days, the department will hold a media briefing to provide further details on the implementation of the grant.
