Doing a Sassa Status check is one of the most important steps in managing your Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant. By tracking your application, you’ll stay informed, avoid delays, and reduce stress knowing exactly where you stand.
A Sassa Status check gives you access to updates on your SRD grant—whether it’s approved, pending, or declined. You don’t need to stand in queues or wait on calls. It’s quick, simple, and puts control back in your hands.
As of 2025, over 18.8 million South Africans receive monthly social grants, which accounts for nearly 31% of the population. In the 2022–2023 fiscal year, SASSA spent more than R232.74 billion on grants, including SRD payments.
