SASSA will not be processing new R350 Covid Grant applications until the relevant regulations have been amended.
The grant was introduced and distributed under the Disaster Management Act to provide relief to poor people and those left vulnerable due to the Covid pandemic. It must now be transferred under the Social Assistance Act.
No new R350 social relief of distress grants will be processed until the government amends the regulations to shift the grant from the Disaster Management Act to the Social Assistance Act. This is according to South African Social Security Agency spokesman Paseka Letsatsi. “The legal framework has to change, as the grant cannot be provided under the Disaster Management Act. The Department of Social Development is currently busy with the inclusion of this grant under the Regulations to the Social Assistance Act. The amended Regulations were put out for public comment, and the process is underway to incorporate all the comments and finalise the regulations.
