How to Check SASSA SRD Status
Enter the same 13-digit South African ID number and registered mobile number used for the SRD application. The checker sends the request from our server to the SASSA SRD status service and displays the returned status on this page. A result may include a monthly outcome, pay day, or decline reason.
Upcoming SASSA Payment Dates
The general social-grant schedule is staggered across Older Persons, Disability and Children’s grants. SRD R370 payments do not use the same fixed three-day schedule; approved SRD applications should use the pay-day information in their individual status result.

|---|---|---|---|
| October 2026 | 02 October 2026 | 05 October 2026 | 06 October 2026 |
