If you have applied for a SASSA grant in 2025, it is important to keep up to date on the application status. There are a few ways in which SASSA will enable you to follow your application progress and payment status.

Online Status Check

It is also essential that you are aware of your application status online. Getting to know your SASSA application status is accomplished through the official website:

  • Go to sassa.gov.za.
  • Scroll down to the bottom and click on “Application Status.”
  • Enter your Temporary ID Number (South Africa) as well as the mobile number used to register.
  • Click the “Check Status” button. Your current SASSA application status will now appear on your screen. 

You’ll receive instant updates showing whether your application was approved, is still pending, or has been declined. 

Other Options for Status Checks

If you for one want to avoid that online portal, here are some alternatives:

  1. USSD: Dial *120*69277# or *120*3210# via the mobile number that you used in your application. Follow the subsequent prompts to check on your application status. 
  2. WhatsApp: Save the number 082 046 8553 as “SASSA SRD” into your contacts. Send a message that contains the word “Status.” You should receive a response with your application status. About Payments
  3. Phone Call: SASSA toll-free number: 0800 60 10 11. Please follow the automated prompts asking you to check on your application status.
  4. Email: Send your application status query to: information@sassa.gov.za, along with your ID and mobile number.

Understanding Your Application Status

When checking for one’s application status, the following types of messages may be encountered: 

  1. Approved: The application was successful, and the payment is now being processed.
  2. Pending: The application is under review. So at this point, no more action is required from you.
  3. Declined: An application has been rejected. You may, however, appeal this decision if you are eligible. 

In case an application is declined, the appeal must be submitted through the official SASSA SRD portal. You will be required to provide reasons for your appeal and substantiate them with documents.
