The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) provided step-by-step instructions on how to reinstate your SASSA R350 grant for applicants who wish to resume the process after a change in circumstances or various other reasons.

This comes after the agency wrongly suspended the grants paid to certain public servants, including interns, general workers and others, whose income would not have excluded them from receiving the grant.
