How to Cancel SASSA SRD R370 Grant Payments?
SASSA has stated that receiving the SRD grant while not meeting the eligibility requirements may result in recovery actions or legal consequences. For this reason, beneficiaries who are no longer eligible are required to cancel their SRD grant application.

Below is a step-by-step guide explaining how a SASSA beneficiary can cancel an SRD grant application.
How to Know If You Are Receiving SASSA Grant Payments
Visit the SASSA status check page and enter your South African ID number and registered mobile number to confirm whether your SRD grant is approved. You can also review your bank account or payment method to check for recent grant payments.
How to Cancel an SRD Grant Application

Common Reasons for Cancelling an SRD R370 Grant
The most common reason for cancelling an SRD grant application is a change in eligibility. This may occur if your financial situation improves or if you begin receiving another form of government assistance.
Another reason may be incorrect information submitted during the original application, such as errors in personal or banking details. Cancelling and submitting a corrected application may be necessary in these cases.
Some applicants also cancel their applications after applying in error or if they no longer require financial support. Ensuring your application reflects your current eligibility helps prevent future complications.
What Happens After Cancelling the SRD Grant Application
Once your SRD R370 grant application is successfully cancelled, payments will stop from the next processing cycle. No further funds will be issued to your bank account or selected payment method.
SASSA will send a confirmation SMS or email once the cancellation has been processed. Keep this confirmation for your records. Cancelling an SRD grant does not affect eligibility for other SASSA grants if you meet their criteria.
If there are outstanding payments from previous months, these may still be processed until the cancellation is fully completed. Contact SASSA directly if you notice any unexpected payments.
Tips to Avoid Issues During the Cancellation Process
To avoid delays or complications when cancelling your SRD grant:
- Verify Your Details: Ensure the ID number and mobile number entered match your original SRD application.
- Use the Official Portal: Only cancel your application via the official SASSA SRD website to protect your personal information.
- Keep Confirmation Messages: Save all SMS or email confirmations for future reference.
- Contact SASSA if Needed: If technical issues occur, contact the SASSA helpdesk for assistance.
