How Can I Confirm If SASSA Has Processed My Grant Payment?

Here are several ways to check if your SASSA grant payment has been made:

1. Check Your Bank Account: If your SASSA grant is paid into a bank account, you can verify the payment by logging into your online banking portal or checking your account balance at an ATM.
2. Use the SASSA Payment Inquiry Tool: SASSA provides an online payment inquiry tool where you can check the status of your grant. Simply enter your ID number and choose the type of grant you receive (e.g., social grant, child support grant, foster care grant).
3. Contact SASSA: If you need assistance with your grant, you can reach out to SASSA. Call their toll-free number at 0800 60 10 11, visit a local SASSA office, or email them at grantenquiries@sassa.gov.za. Keep in mind, this option may take longer, so it’s best to try other methods first.
4. Check Your Mobile Phone: If you’ve signed up for SMS notifications from SASSA, you’ll receive a message once your grant payment is made.

Remember, SASSA processes grant payments on specific dates each month, depending on the type of grant. You can find these dates on the SASSA website or by contacting them.
