The current income threshold that applicants seeking SRD R350 grant approval to meet is set at R350. This means, that in order to qualify for the Covid-19 SRD grant, you should not earn more than R350 monthly.
However, the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), has taken the steps to raise the income threshold to R624. Again, SASSA to raise income threshold to R624.
This means, that in order to qualify for the R350 grant, you should not earn more than R624.
This attempt is good news because it will allow lots of South Africans to meet the SRD income threshold and qualify for the SASSA R350 grant.

Does An Increase In SASAS Income Threshold Mean Increase In SASSA Grant?
No, the increase in SASSA SRD grant income threshold does not mean an increase in SASSA payment. SASSA will still pay the R350 for the SRD grant if they approve the income threshold increase.
Again, even if SASSA approves increasing applicants’ income threshold to R624, their monthly payment will still be R350 for the Covid-19 Social Grant.
The increase only aims to accommodate more applicants and more South Africans to qualify and benefit from the Covid-19 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant.
