The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) introduced the SASSA Status Check tool to help applicants track their Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant applications and payment schedules. Originally launched during the COVID-19 pandemic, the SRD grant—now set at R370—continues to support millions of South Africans and will remain in place until March 2026.
If you’ve applied for the SRD R370 grant, checking your application status is quick and easy. Simply use the SASSA Status Check form by entering your ID number and the phone number you used when applying to view your approval status and upcoming payment dates.
Whether you’re awaiting approval or checking when your next payment is due, there are several convenient ways to stay informed. This guide explains how to use online tools, WhatsApp, and mobile apps to access your SASSA grant information anytime, from anywhere.
SASSA Status Check for R370 Payment Dates
To view your payment dates for both current and previous months, just enter your ID number and phone number into the form above, then click the “Check Status” button.
Keep in mind that the R370 SRD grant does not have a set monthly payment date—payment dates may differ from one applicant to another each month.
