The situation of waiting for an R370 SASSA SRD grant or any such SASSA grants confirmation is always very distressing. SASSA in 2025, however, launched an online status tracking system that allows the grant applicants to see right away if their grant has already been approved, is in application status or has been rejected. Thus, beneficiaries will not have to constantly visit the SASSA offices and the money they will receive is less uncertain.
A Simple Guide for Checking Your Status
To monitor the status of your grant application:
- Go to the official SASSA website and go to the Grants page.
- Choose the type of grant you submitted application for (like SRD, old age, or disability).
- Hit “Check My Status.”
- Key in your ID number along with the mobile number that you provided during application.
- Press submit, and the system will show your status whether it is Approved, Pending, or Declined.
This whole process would hardly take a minute if you are connected to the internet and have the right information.
Explanation of the Status Messages
By checking the status, one can see the messages among others:
- Approved: The application has been checked and a date for payment will soon be assigned.
- Pending: The application is in the process of being checked still, and no action is required unless more documents are requested from SASSA.
- Declined: The application did not satisfy the criteria for being granted. One can appeal this judgment within a set of limitations.
The understanding of the meaning behind each status is of great help as it informs when to wait or when to take further actions.
Application Tracking via Other Means
If you are unable to get to the SASSA site, there are other ways to track your application status:
- Moya App: This application allows checking the status without data usage.
- USSD Code: Call 1347737# on your phone to get the status of your application.
- WhatsApp: Send “status” message to SASSA WhatsApp number (082 046 8553) for an application status update.
- Call SASSA: Alternatively, you can call the help desk number at 0800 60 10 11 and know about your status.
These techniques provide an opportunity for flexibility especially for those who do not have internet access.
What If Your Application Gets Rejected
In case your status shows Declined, there is no reason to be sorry. You may request an appeal:
- Go to the SASSA website and find the appeals section.
- Send the necessary documents to support the reason for decline (proof of income, ID, residence, etc.).
- Then wait for the Independent Tribunal to consider your case and announce its ruling.
- Speed is of the essence, as the appeal period is usually limited.
