How to Check Your SASSA SRD Grant Balance Online
Checking your SASSA SRD (Social Relief of Distress) grant balance or status online is a straightforward process. This method allows you to quickly determine if your payment has been processed or if there's any update regarding your grant.
Follow these simple steps to check your balance:
-
Visit the Official SASSA SRD Web Portal

Log In with Your Credentials
Once on the portal, you will be prompted to enter your personal details to log in. This typically includes:
- Your South African ID number.
- The cellphone number you used when applying for the SASSA SRD grant.
- An SMS with a One-Time Pin (OTP) may be sent to your registered cellphone number for verification.

Navigate to the Balance/Status Section
After successfully logging in, you will be able to view your grant status.

It will display:
- Application status for each month.
- Payment dates if your application is approved and a payment has been scheduled.
This online system provides a transparent way to keep track of your SASSA SRD grant payments and ensures you are informed about the status of your financial relief.
