The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has millions of South Africans relying on them each and every month. This is due to Sassa being responsible for paying social grants, such as the Sassa R370 grant.

April is the first month that beneficiaries of the grant benefit from an increased SRD grant payment, R370.

To benefit from the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, you have to submit a Sassa application. To track it, you will have to do a Sassa status check consistently as knowing your Sassa application status empowers you to stay informed and proactive.
