Before diving into the status check process, it is essential to understand the SASSA grant payment cycle. The SRD grant, for example, is typically paid monthly on specific dates announced by SASSA. SASSA usually announces these dates on its official website and social media accounts.

Once your application is approved, you will receive your grant payment through your chosen method, either Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) into your bank account or cash at a participating South African Post Office (SAPO) branch.
