Change or Update Phone Number Used To Apply for SASSA SRD R350

Change or Update Phone Number Used To Apply for SASSA SRD R350 July 2024

Are you one of those SRD R350 grant applicants who wish to update your phone number that was used to submit the application?

Many applicants have found themselves in these situations because their phones numbers are no more on their possession or not accessible to them anymore for whatever reason.

Since the post office announced they are no longer available for the SASSA SRD R350 grant payments, applicants who chose to be paid through the merchants will require their phone numbers for pin verification before payments.

In view of this, every applicant who goes to the merchants for collection unlike the post office will need the phone number readily available.

Since most applicants no longer have these numbers, SASSA has made a provision available where such affected applicants can update or change their phone numbers using the official website of the ongoing SRD R350 grant https://srd.sassa.gov.za
