THE COVID-19 grant will only be paid until the end of January 2021.
SASSA has determined a cut-off date for lodging appeals in respect of declined COVID-19 social relief of distress grants.
Appeals for applications made during the extension period, between November 2020 and January 2021 should be lodged on or before February 28, 2021.
Appeals can be lodged on https//srd.sassa.gov.za website or by sending an email to: covid19appeals@sassa.gov.za.
All appeals will be considered and appellants will be provided with feedback.
In a media statement SASSA explained, “Applicants who are aggrieved by the decision to decline their applications are requested to provide reasons why they think the SASSA decision was incorrect or provide a motivation when lodging their appeals.”
Declined applicants who have already lodged appeals need not reapply or file another appeal.
SASSA will send them the outcome of their appeals via SMS.
Appellants have been requested not to include attachments when lodging appeals.
