The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) status check allows applicants to track the progress of their grant applications. Each status update informs whether the application is approved, pending, declined, or requires additional verification. The process involves verifying personal details, banking information, and eligibility criteria. Once approved, payment dates and methods are shared. Status checks can be done online, via WhatsApp, or phone. Applicants must ensure their information is accurate and up to date to avoid delays or rejections. Regularly checking the status helps ensure timely access to funds and identifies any issues needing resolution promptly.
