How to check your SASSA SRD status
Use the official SASSA SRD portal to check an application, understand the next step and avoid fake status-check services.
Start with the official service
Open the SRD portal and choose the status option relevant to your application month.
Open official sourceResponsible authority: South African Social Security Agency (SASSA).
What your status may mean
Exact labels and rules differ by service. Use the message displayed by the official system as the authority.
Pending or under review
Check the official portal again later and follow any verification instructions shown there. Do not pay anyone to speed up a review.
Declined
Read the reason for the relevant month and use the official reconsideration or appeal process if it is available and you meet the conditions. Check the portal for its current deadline.
Approved but unpaid
Check the payment details and any verification instructions on the official portal. Contact SASSA through a verified official channel if the issue persists.
