The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) issues South Africa’s social grants. This includes the Social Relief of Distress Grant, the Child and Foster Grant, and the Elderly (Pensioners) Grant.
Where should you check your grant status?
The South African posts updated grant payment dates.
Websites also claim to offer a ‘status check’, but many of these are scammers or fake sites. Don’t enter your personal information anywhere.
Here’s where to check your social grant payment status.
SASSA: ‘Grant status check’ scams
Scams are everywhere, especially on social media and the internet.
Be careful if you’re checking your social grant payment status!
You should only use trusted websites.
Only official .gov.za links are from government. SASSA have warned people against clicking on social media links – or co.za domains claiming government authority.
A fake website could steal your information.
Make sure you have the right domain first.
SASSA: Checking your real grant status
Your real grant status (SRD Grant) can be checked at this link.
Other grant payment dates are posted on The South African. Grant recipients can also check the online payment schedule here.
Make sure you check your real grant payment status.
It’s how to know which day your social grant is paid in.
SASSA will never ask for your personal information.
SASSA: Is this a real website?
Government websites always end with: .gov.za.
Other domains, like .co.za, aren’t government websites – ever.
Always look at the browser link before entering any information online. It’s how scammers steal information!
