Checking Your SASSA SRD Status: What You Need to Know

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is responsible for the payment of social grants to eligible individuals in South Africa. One of these grants is the Special Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, which is intended to provide financial assistance to individuals and households in times of crisis or distress. If you have applied for the SRD grant, you may be wondering how to check the status of your application.

How to Check Your SASSA SRD Status

There are several ways to check the status of your SASSA SRD application:

1. Visit the SASSA website and click on the “SRD Status” link.
2. Call the SASSA toll-free number at 0800 601011 and follow the prompts to check your SRD status.
3. Visit a SASSA office in person and speak to a representative.

When checking your SASSA SRD status, you will be asked to provide your ID number or application reference number. It’s important to have this information on hand before attempting to check your status.

What the SASSA SRD Status Means

When you check your SASSA SRD status, you will be provided with information on the current status of your application. The possible statuses are:

• Pending: Your application is under review and a decision has not yet been made.
• Approved: Your application has been approved and payment will be made to your designated bank account or to a SASSA pay point.
• Rejected: Your application has been rejected due to insufficient or incorrect information provided.
• Payment Made: The payment for your approved application has been made.
• Closed: Your application has been closed due to ineligibility or other reasons.

It’s important to note that the SRD grant is intended as a one-time payment and is not a recurring grant. If you have any concerns about your SASSA SRD status or the status of your payment, you can contact SASSA at 0800 601011 or visit a SASSA office for assistance. You can also consult with the Department of Social Development for more information on the SRD grant and other social assistance programs in South Africa.
