According to the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), all beneficiaries of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant are required to reconfirm their applications from time to time to avoid payment discontinuity. As a recipient of the R350 SRD grant, you risk delays or loss of payment should you fail to reconfirm your application within the stated time.
For What Reasons Should There Be Reconfirmation?
It is designed to confirm whether the selected grantees qualify further according to the particular criterion for receiving SRD benefits. Withholding payments from such persons is attempted while excluding those who merit qualification for such payments. This reconfirmation prevents
- Fraudulent claims
- Eligible applicants will receive the grant
- Complete personal and banking details update for the beneficiary

You can do all these steps easily online: fully reconfirm your application on the SASSA website. Here are the steps:

To Whom Should They Reconfirm Their Applications?
As per SASSA advice, all beneficiaries should reconfirm their applications at least every three months to avoid disruption of grant payments. If you don’t reconfirms before the deadline, temporary suspension will take place until reconfirmation is done.
Who Now Needs To Reconfirm
All current recipients of the SRD grant must go through this reconfirmation process; if it is established that your financial position has changed and you no longer qualify, you are now obliged to inform SASSA to avoid civil penalties against you.
What Happens If I Don’t Reconfirm?
