Beneficiaries of the COVID-19 Social Relief of Distress Grant are also requested not to visit the Post Office during the first seven days of the month as that week is reserved for payment of the normal grants. It is important for beneficiaries to understand that they should not go to the Post Office before they have received the SMS notification that says funds are available. The SMS notification is used to limit the numbers of people reporting to a Post Office on a particular day and also to ensure that sufficient cash is available. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"Default\">Any citizen who does not update their information during the window period, or who provides incorrect banking details will have the payments for the remaining months sent through to the Post Office.
