For the special SRD grant, use SASSA’s separate official SRD status page. SASSA Services currently shows a maintenance notice for standard social-grant applications, so use the official government contact directory or call SASSA toll free on 0800 60 10 11 until the service returns. This independent guide does not check a live SASSA record.

Common questions
Direct answers
Can this website check my live SASSA status?
No. It explains published status wording and links to official help; it does not access SASSA records.
Why does an application say documents outstanding?
SASSA’s FAQ says the application was found incomplete. Check the official message for the exact document and upload it through SASSA Services.
Does approved mean the SRD payment was sent?
Not necessarily. SASSA’s published guide tells clients to check the pay-day field; no pay day means no payment has been processed yet.
What does UIF registered mean on an SRD decline?
It means the verification found a UIF-linked record. If that record is wrong or results from identity misuse, check the exact SRD reason and use the official UIF and SRD correction or appeal routes; do not assume a third party can remove it.
What does alternative income source identified mean?
SASSA says this wording is used when its verification detects income information through external data, including financial institutions. Read the reason for the specific period and use the official DSD appeal route if the finding is wrong; this independent guide cannot see which transaction or database caused it.
