As iBusiness prepares a massive release of SASSA’s stories concerning the R350 grant relief and all the complaints and some of which are not resolved, SASSA has released a schedule for the remainder of the year. As a reminder, please note that all that have been rejected due to IRP5 registration can appeal to SASSA, using the email: covid19srdappeals@sassa.gov.za.

If you are wondering when you will be getting the R350 grant for the month of August, please note that the COVID-19 grant relief for the unemployed has no fixed date and thus applicants are not all paid on the same dates. From the iBusiness Desk, we believe approved applicants are paid in groups.
