How to Check Your Payment Status?

Knowing your payment date helps you plan your budget. SASSA offers easy ways to check your SRD grant status:

• Online: Visit the official SASSA website. Enter your South African ID number and the phone number you used to apply. Your status will show if your grant is approved and when payment is due.
• WhatsApp: Send “SASSA” to 082 046 8553. Follow the prompts, type your ID number, and get instant updates.
• Phone Call: Dial 0800 60 10 11, choose option 1, and provide your ID number. An agent will confirm your status.
• Moya App: Download this data-free app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Select “SASSA” to check your grant without using airtime.

Check your status a few days before April 25 to avoid surprises. If your status says “pending,” SASSA is still reviewing your application.

Eligibility for the SRD R370 Grant

To qualify for the SRD R370 grant, you must meet these rules:

• Be a South African citizen, refugee, or asylum seeker.
• Be between 18 and 60 years old.
• Have no other income, like Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) or another SASSA grant.
• Earn less than R624 per month, the poverty threshold set by SASSA in 2024.

SASSA checks your details against databases like the Department of Home Affairs and South African Revenue Service (SARS) to confirm eligibility. If your status shows “declined,” you can appeal online within 90 days.

How to Collect Your SRD R370 Grant?

SASSA offers flexible ways to get your R370 payment:

• Bank Account: Link your bank account to receive funds directly. Compatible banks include FNB, Nedbank, and Tymebank. Update your details on the SASSA portal if you change banks.
• Retail Stores: Collect cash at Pick n Pay, Shoprite, or Boxer. Bring your ID and phone number used for the application.
• Post Office: Some South African Post Office branches still process payments, but check availability first.
• Mobile Money: Get funds via services like CashSend if you don’t have a bank account.

Always verify your payment method is active to avoid delays. For example, an unverified bank account can hold up your money.

Why Payments Might Be Delayed?

Sometimes, payments don’t arrive on time. Common reasons include:

• Verification Issues: Incorrect ID or phone numbers can pause your application.
• Banking Errors: An inactive or wrong bank account stops deposits.
• High Demand: SASSA processes millions of payments, which can slow things down.
• Technical Glitches: System errors may delay status updates.

If you don’t get your payment by April 30, call SASSA’s toll-free number or visit a local office. Keep your ID and application details ready.

• Update your contact details on the SASSA portal if you get a new phone number.
