How Much Is the November SRD Grant Payment? As we bid farewell to the month of October and embrace the arrival of November, it’s essential to be informed about the upcoming SRD grant payment for the month. The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, offered by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa), is designed to assist unemployed and financially vulnerable South Africans. The grant, which has an expiration date set for March 2024, has been a subject of speculation and misinformation. In this article, we clarify the payment amount for SRD grant beneficiaries in November.
November SRD Grant Amount
SRD grant recipients can anticipate a payment of R350 for the month of November. This fixed amount has remained unchanged, prompting questions about why it hasn’t been increased.
Why Hasn’t the R350 Grant Been Increased?
The Department of Social Development has cited “fiscal constraints” as the primary reason for not increasing the SRD grant. Despite their efforts to request an increase from the National Treasury, it wasn’t granted due to these financial limitations. Social Development Minister Lindiwe Zulu and Deputy Director-General Brenda Sibeko have expressed their desire for an increase in the SRD grant, but as of now, there’s been no official confirmation of such an increase. Consequently, the grant amount remains at R350 per month.
