Welcome to the “SASSA Status Check Portal“. This platform is designed to provide beneficiaries of the “SRD R370 grant” and other social grants with timely updates on their payment schedules for the 2024-2025 financial year.
Check Your SASSA Status
The “SASSA grant” is a financial assistance program offered by the South African government to support individuals struggling to meet their basic needs. Managed by the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA), the grant is aimed at those who are unemployed, have low income, or are unable to work due to age, illness, or disability. One of the most well-known grants is the SRD R350 grant, which was introduced to help people during challenging times, such as the COVID-19 pandemic.
This grant is designed for individuals who are in urgent need, such as those who have lost their jobs or lack any other income source. It helps cover essential expenses like food, transportation, and other daily costs. Although temporary, the grant provides crucial support during tough periods, ensuring that no one is left completely behind when life becomes difficult.
In April 2024, the SRD grant amount was increased from R350 to R370 to better support beneficiaries amidst the rising cost of living. If you’re eligible, you will automatically receive the updated amount—no action is needed on your part.
