Currently, in its third cycle, the Sassa R350 grant remains a crucial source of income for over 8 million beneficiaries across the country. Thus, if you are among the group of applicants for this grant, chances are that you may want to keep track of your application status.
The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has provided two methods for individuals to check the status of their SRD grant application: an online portal and WhatsApp.
How To Track Your R350 Grant Status Online

- Click on the link labelled "Click here to check online."
- Fill in the required fields as prompted.
- Once you have completed the necessary information, the status of your R350 grant application should be displayed.
Alternatively, applicants can also use WhatsApp to inquire about their SRD application status. Here's how:
How To Track Your R350 Grant Status Via Whatsapp

- Open WhatsApp and send a message to the Sassa number.
- Type "Status" followed by your ID number in the message.
- Wait for a response from Sassa. You will receive a message with the status of your application and any updates on your payment.
By following these steps, applicants will receive information regarding the approval or decline of their R350 grant application, or if they need to lodge an appeal due to what they perceive as an unfair denial.
These digital channels have been implemented to make the process more accessible and user-friendly for applicants' needs.
