An OTP (One-Time Password) will be sent to your registered phone number. 5. Validate the OTP and follow the instructions to reconfirm your application.During the reconfirmation process, make sure to provide accurate personal and financial information. Any mistakes can potentially affect your grant. It is also important to take note of the reconfirmation date, as it will help you remember when to reconfirm your application in the future.Please note that this process is only for individuals already enrolled in the SRD program administered by SASSA. Additionally, the rules, process, grant amount, and eligibility criteria may change over time. It is crucial to regularly check for updates regarding the SRD grant on the official website of the South African Government and SASSA.Why is reconfirmation necessary?
