Do follow the steps that have been set below to check for status and receive timely payments without delay.
Read about the R370 SRD Grant.
Persons aged between 18 and 59 years who are unemployed, do not have any source of income, and do not receive any other government compensation, UIF, or any social grant, can apply for the R370 SRD grant. The payment for September 2025 is made between the 24th and the 30th of that very month; they are grouped in sets proceeding according to the applicant ID number. The funds must be transferred directly to one type of allowance: a bank account, Post Office, or CashSend. Keep checking for dates on status for eligibility and payment as applications for checks are done monthly by SASSA.
Why Is Checking Payment Status Important?
Knowing the status of your SRD is to find out whether the application has been accepted and scheduled for payment. Some statuses will show as “pending” or “declined” if, for instance, certain bank details, ID numbers, or declared incomes do not correspond with the correct criteria. The sooner you identify these, the better your chances would be in having those rejections overturned or having the necessary details corrected to avoid losing payments. Thus, acting on the situation will be advantageous in your budgeting.
