This tool connects directly to the SASSA database to provide you with the most up-to-date information about your grant application.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often is my status updated?
SASSA updates application statuses daily. However, during high-volume periods, updates may take 2-3 business days to reflect in the system.
Why does my status show "Pending" for so long?
SASSA verifies applications against multiple databases, which can take time. Additionally, during periods of high application volume, processing times may be longer than usual. Continue checking your status regularly.
My status shows "Approved" but I haven't received payment. Why?
Payments are made according to a schedule based on the last three digits of your ID number. Even after approval, it may take a few days before your payment is processed. Check the payment schedule for more information.
What does "Declined: Already receiving income" mean?
This means SASSA's verification process found that you are registered on databases as receiving income from employment, UIF, or other sources. If you believe this is incorrect, you should submit an appeal with supporting documentation.
Can I check someone else's status using their details?
No, checking someone else's status without their consent is not permitted and may constitute identity fraud. Each applicant should check their own status using their personal details.
