How to Reconfirm SASSA SRD?

Recipients of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant may be asked to reconfirm their application from time to time to keep their details up to date. In this process, sassa users ensure that their personal and financial information is accurate so they can continue receiving the R370 monthly payment. The reconfirmation is simple, but missing it could cause delays or even a stop in payments.

Why You Need to Reconfirm

The SRD grant was introduced in 2020 as temporary COVID-19 relief, but it has since been extended until at least March 2026. Because eligibility depends on your current income and situation, SASSA requires you to update or reconfirm your information regularly.

You’ll need to reconfirm if:

• It’s been every 3 months since your last confirmation.

• Your income, employment, or banking details have changed.

• SASSA notifies you by SMS or email to log in and verify your details.

SASSA Reconfirmation Process

The most convenient way is through the official SASSA SRD website. Here’s how:

1. Visit the SRD website
   Go to https://srd.sassa.gov.za

2. Log in with your ID number and cellphone number
   You’ll receive a One-Time Pin (OTP) by SMS. Enter it to proceed.

3. Check your personal details
   Ensure your name, surname, and ID number are correct and match Home Affairs records.

4. Update your contact and banking details
   If your phone number or bank account has changed, update it here. Payments can only be made into your own bank account.

5. Reconfirm your declaration
   You’ll be asked to declare that you are still unemployed, have no income above R624 per month (the current means test threshold), and meet the grant’s requirements.

6. Submit and keep confirmation
   Once done, you’ll receive confirmation that your reconfirmation is successful. Keep a screenshot or note the reference number for your records.

What Happens If You Don’t Reconfirm?

Failure to reconfirm could result in:

• Your grant being suspended until you update your details.

• Possible permanent cancellation if you are found ineligible.

• Delays in monthly payments, especially if your banking details are outdated.

To avoid disruption, always reconfirm before the deadline or as soon as you receive an SMS reminder.

Reconfirming your SASSA SRD grant is a simple but essential step to keep receiving your R370 support. By checking your details every 3 months, you’ll avoid delays, ensure your payments go into the right bank account, and protect yourself from unnecessary suspensions.

If you’ve received a reminder from SASSA, don’t delay, log in today, update your details, and reconfirm. This small step keeps your financial support secure while you continue to look for better opportunities.
