The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) provides various grants to eligible citizens, offering financial support for those in need.
Knowing your specific SASSA payment date is important for budgeting and managing your finances effectively.
How Do I Check My SASSA Payment Dates?
There are many different ways to check your SASSA payment date:
1. SASSA Website: Visit the official SASSA website at https://srd.sassa.gov.za/.
While checking your payment date directly might not be available on the homepage, you can use the application status check feature.
This feature will display information about your specific grant, including the payment date for approved applications.
2. SASSA Status Check Platforms: SASSA offers alternative platforms for checking your application status and, consequently, your payment date. These include:
- Moya App: Download the Moya App from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Once installed, register or log in and navigate to the “Grants” section. You should be able to view your payment date there.
- SMS: Send an SMS with your ID number to *13477# (e.g., 13477#123456789012). You will receive an SMS response containing your application status and, if approved, the payment date.
The specific information displayed on these platforms may vary depending on the type of grant you receive.
How Do I Check My SASSA Balance?
Unfortunately, checking your SASSA payment balance directly through the website or online platforms isn’t currently available.
However, once your grant payment is deposited, you can check your balance using:
- Bank Statement or Mobile Banking App: If your grant is deposited into your bank account, you can access your bank statement or mobile banking app to view your current balance.
- SASSA Card: If you receive your grant through the SASSA card, you can check your balance at an ATM or any participating retailer that offers balance inquiry services.
How Can I Check My SASSA Balance by SMS?
While there’s no SMS option specifically for checking your SASSA balance, you can use the SMS application status check (*13477#) to indirectly determine your balance status.
If your application status is approved and the payment date has passed, it’s likely the funds have been deposited.
