The SRD grant started as a way to help people who lost their income during COVID. It began with payments of R350 each month to help unemployed people buy basic things they needed. The government later made some changes to the grant. They increased the amount to R370 & changed some rules about how it works. Many people still call it the R350 grant even though the amount changed. Before November 2025 more people wanted to know when they could get the money and who could appfly for it. They also wanted to know the exact dates when payments would be made.
November 2025 SRD Grant Payment Calendar
The payments for November 2025 will happen at the end of the month. They will be made between November 2 and 3 on business days only. SRD payments work differently from other grants. They don’t all get paid on the same day. Instead they are paid in groups over several days. Some people will get their money on one day while others will get it on different days during this time. If there are any delays it usually takes 2 to 3 working days for the money to show up in bank accounts or at payment points.
What to Do If Your SRD Payment Is Delayed
What to do if your SRD payment is late:
– First look up your application status on srd.sassa.gov.za to make sure everything is okay.
– Then double-check that your bank details & contact info are correct and up to date.
– If you still haven’t gotten paid you should call SASSA’s help desk or visit their local office to let them know.
– Also keep an eye on SASSA’s news updates since they often post about payment delays.
Don’t worry too much if your payment is a bit late. SASSA sends out payments in groups so delays are pretty normal. Just give it some time and follow these steps if needed.
