How Do I Check My SASSA R350 Payday?

If you used WhatsApp or GovChat to apply for the reinstated SRD R350 Grant, you could use the same platform to check your payment dates. One thing you have to keep in mind is the reference code – an alphanumeric key that was generated by the system after the completion of your SRD grant application. 

If you did not apply with either GovChat or Whatsapp, you would not be able to check your Payday using the following steps. 

To check your SASSA R350 Payday via GovChat, do the following:

If your payment has not been made, you may need to wait a bit longer before the status is updated. If you have any further questions about your SASSA R350 Payday status, you can contact the SASSA call centre at 0800 60 10 11.

How Do I Check If My R350 Grant Was Approved?

Once you’ve submitted your application, you can check if your R350 Grant was approved. Follow these simple steps:

If your application has yet to be approved, the status will indicate that your application is still being processed. If you have any further questions about the status of your R350 grant application, you can contact the SASSA call centre at 0800 60 10 11.

What happens if the SASSA R350 is approved but there is no payment date?

If your SASSA R350 grant application has been approved, but no payment date has been provided, it may mean that your application is still being processed or that some issues must be resolved before payment can be made.

Ensuring that your contact information is up-to-date and accurate is essential. SASSA may need to contact you to resolve issues or request additional information.

You can also contact the SASSA call centre at 0800 60 10 11 to inquire about the status of your application and to get more information about when you can expect to receive your payment.

Due to the large volume of applications, processing times may vary, and it may take some time before your payment is made. However, SASSA is committed to ensuring that eligible applicants receive their payments as soon as possible.

How To Check SRD Grant Status On Moya App

Moya App is a data-free service app applicants can use to check their SRD grant status.

Launch the Moya App to begin. The app does not require data before you can check your SRD grant status, but you need to turn on your data or internet connection to be able to check your status.

If approved, it will be displayed with pay dates and sometimes without. If it is declined, it will show why your application was rejected. If that happens, you can appeal that your application was unduly rejected.

If your application is still being processed, you may need to wait a bit longer before the status is updated. If you have any further questions about your SRD grant application status, you can contact the SASSA call centre at 0800 60 10 11.

If you do not have the Moya app, you can download it via moya.app.

How To Check SRD Grant Reconsideration Status

SASSA’s reconsideration system automatically allows applicants who have been declined for the SRD R350 to appeal for 2025.

In the previous SRD R350 grants application, declined applicants had to send an appeal application to the email address covid19srdappeals@sassa.gov.za, but looking at the tedious work of checking thousands of emails individually, SASSA added a reconsideration module to its online registration platform where applicants can appeal without sending an email.

To check the status of your SRD grant reconsideration, you can follow these steps:

If your reconsideration is still being processed, you may need to wait a bit longer before the status is updated. If you have any further questions about your SRD grant reconsideration status, you can contact the SASSA call centre at 0800 60 10 11.
