As part of the reconsideration process, the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) will check your personal information and income status to confirm that you are a vulnerable individual. Recently, it has been announced that the processing of reconsideration requests has been delayed due to longer communication times with banks and financial institutions. Please note that in order to receive the SRD Covid-19 grant, the applicant must not have received Covid-19 support from other governments.
