The R350 Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant has been a lifeline for many South Africans during these challenging times. But waiting for the application update can be stressful. This guide will equip you with the knowledge to navigate the R350 status check process efficiently.

Understanding Your Options:

There are two primary methods to check your R350 application status:

  1. Digital Tools:

    • SASSA Mobile App: This user-friendly app allows you to check your status on the go. Download it from the App Store or Google Play, register, and navigate to the "Social Relief of Distress Grant" section. Enter your ID number, application reference number, and the phone number linked to your application. Presto! Your status will be displayed.
    • USSD Code: Don't have internet access? No problem! Dial 1203210# or 12069277# on your phone. A menu will appear. Select "1" for SRD status check, followed by "2" to enter your details. Finally, choose "3" to view your application status.

  2. SASSA Website:

    • Head to the official SASSA website SASSA Status Check for R350.
    • Locate the "Status of SC19" section. Here, you'll need to enter your South African ID number and the phone number you used during application. Click "Submit" to reveal your application's status.

Important Tips:

  • Ensure you have your ID number, application reference number (if available), and the phone number linked to your application handy before attempting the check.
  • The system might experience occasional high traffic. Be patient and try again later if you encounter any issues.
  • For further assistance or inquiries about declined applications, contact the SASSA National Call Centre at 0800 601 011.

Beyond the Status Check:

This guide empowers you to stay informed about your R350 application status. Remember, a successful application doesn't guarantee immediate payment. SASSA will communicate the payment details through SMS or their official channels.

By following these steps and remaining patient, you'll be well on your way to a stress-free R350 status check experience.
