The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant, commonly known as the R370 Sassa grant, provides critical support to millions of South Africans. Administered by the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa), the grant aims to alleviate financial hardship for vulnerable individuals. To ensure you receive your grant payments on time, it's essential to know how to check your SRD grant payment status and dates for 2025.
How to Check Your SRD Grant Payment Dates
Sassa has made it simple for beneficiaries to check their SRD grant status and payment dates online. Follow these steps:

Visit the Sassa SRD Status Website:
Go to the official SRD portal at srd.sassa.gov.za. -
Access the SRD Status Check Section:
Navigate to the "Status Check" section of the website. -
Enter Your Information:
Provide your ID number and the cellphone number used during your application. -

When to Expect SRD Grant Payments
SRD grant payments are processed after a series of verification checks to ensure that only eligible individuals receive assistance. Payments for the SRD grant are typically made during the last week of each month.
Once Sassa processes your payment, it may take 2–3 working days for the funds to reflect in your bank account.
Where to Collect Your Sassa Grant
Beneficiaries can access their funds through various collection points:
-
Bank Accounts:
Payments can be directly deposited into your bank account for easy access. -
Payment Points:
- ATMs: Withdraw your funds from any ATM.
- Retail Stores: Collect your grant at participating stores, including Pick n Pay, Checkers, Shoprite, and Boxer.
Sassa assures beneficiaries that grant payments will remain in their accounts until withdrawn. There’s no need to rush to withdraw your money on the first day it becomes available.
Sassa also conducts detailed checks to ensure payments are made to deserving individuals, so delays may occur in certain cases.
