If you’re waiting on that R350 SRD grant from SASSA, I know the stress of not knowing when it’s dropping. Good news, It’s now bumped up to R370 starting 2025, but the check process is the same. Payments don’t hit on a fixed date, they roll out in batches from early October (like first week) right through the end of the month, depending on your approval and bank details.
For November, expect the same vibe, check weekly to stay ahead. Here’s the easy way to see your status and get that payday info. Takes like 2 minutes!
How to Check SASSA for R370 Payment
- Go to the official SASSA site: srd.sassa.gov.za.
- Click “Check Status” or “Get COVID-19 SRD Grant Details.”
- Punch in your South African ID number and the phone number you used to apply.
- Hit submit and boom! It’ll show if you’re approved, and your payment date if it’s ready (look for “Approved” with a payday).
If it’s approved but no date yet, just wait a bit, SASSA updates in waves. No date showing? Double check your bank info on the site to avoid delays.
Other Quick Ways (No Internet Needed)
- WhatsApp: Save 082 046 8553 as a contact, message “SASSA” then “Status Check.” Reply with your ID, easy peasy, and it’s free.
- Phone Call: Dial the toll-free line at 0800 601 011. Tell them you want your R370 status, they’ll hook you up.
- App ID Trick: If you have your 13-digit application ID, use that on the site for a faster check.
If it says “Declined,” don’t panic, just lodge an appeal right there on the site with your reasons. Most get sorted quick. And remember, you gotta be unemployed, no other government aid (except child grants), and earning under R624/month to qualify.
Got your grant? Payments go straight to your bank or Post Office. If it’s late, hit up SASSA support ASAP. Who’s got theirs already this month? Share in the comments, let’s keep each other posted. Stay strong out there!
