Frequently asked questions
Do these tools apply for a SASSA grant for me?
No. The tools explain the published rules and help you work out what to ask or do next. An application is only submitted through the official SASSA channels.
Are the answers from SASSA itself?
No. SASSA Help Hub is an independent information site. Tools use the published rules and figures, show you where each figure came from, and never present an estimate as a decision.
Where should I check my real grant status?
Check your live status on the official SRD portal or by dialling the SASSA USSD code. The Status Meaning Explorer here explains what the words on that screen mean.
