SASSA Status Approved — What It Means and When You Get Paid
Last updated: June 2026 · South Africa SRD R370 Grant
Good news — your grant is approved for this month.
SASSA has completed all verification checks and confirmed your eligibility for the SRD R370 grant. Payment will be processed between the 24th and 30th of this month.
What Does SASSA Approved Status Mean?
When your SASSA SRD status shows Approved, it means SASSA ran verification checks against Home Affairs, UIF, SARS, and the banks — and you passed all of them for that specific month.
Each month is assessed independently. An Approved result this month does not guarantee Approved next month — SASSA re-runs the checks every 30 days.
When Will I Receive My R370 Payment?
SASSA processes SRD grant payments between the 24th and 30th of each month. The exact date depends on your payment channel:
| Payment Channel | Typical Payment Date |
|---|---|
| Capitec Bank | 24th–25th of the month |
| Other banks | 25th–27th of the month |
| PostBank / SASSA card | 26th–28th of the month |
| CashSend / retailers | 28th–30th of the month |
Check the SASSA payment dates page for the current month's exact schedule.
Approved But No Payment — What To Do
If your status is Approved but the money has not arrived by the 30th of the month:
- Verify your banking details — log in to the official SASSA SRD portal and confirm your bank account details are correct.
- Check your bank account — sometimes payments reflect later than expected. Check all accounts linked to your ID.
- Call SASSA — call the toll-free hotline on 0800 60 10 11 (Mon–Fri 07:30–16:00).
- Visit a SASSA office — bring your ID and ask a consultant to check your payment status in person.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does Approved mean I will always get the grant?
No. Each month is checked independently. Your status can change month to month based on income, UIF, and other checks.
Can I change my payment method after approval?
Yes, but changes submitted after the 15th of the month may not reflect until the following payment cycle. Update banking details at srd.sassa.gov.za.
