Common questions
How do I check my SASSA status?
For SRD, use srd.sassa.gov.za. For other grants, call 0800 60 10 11 or visit a SASSA office.
What does SASSA status 'pending' mean?
Your application is still being verified. Wait and check again; you don't need to re-apply.
Is it safe to check my status on other websites?
No. Only use official SASSA channels. Other sites asking for your ID number may misuse it.
Why does my status say 'reapplication pending'?
It usually means SASSA is reviewing your continued eligibility. Check again later on the official site.
