For millions of South Africans, the South African Social Security Agency provides essential financial support through various grants. Once you’ve applied for a grant, keeping track of your application status is crucial to ensure smooth processing and timely updates.
This guide will walk you through the official methods to safely verify your SASSA grant status.
Always verify your status through official SASSA channels. Do not disclose your personal information or PIN to anyone who approaches you claiming to be from SASSA via unofficial methods.
After submitting your SASSA application, you can now track all progress in your status updates. You may have to keep tracking it for several reasons:

To check your SASSA status, ensure you have following details ready:
Your South African ID number.
The mobile number used during SRD application process (if applicable).
To verify your status for SRD grant, SASSA offers easy options:

Once your application has been approved, you will have to follow the payment schedule. Generally, payment periods for the Child Support Grant and Older Person's Grant are monthly. Payment dates differ for SRD R370 grants.
