SASSA confirms SRD R370 payment dates for end of July
South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) beneficiaries whose Social Relief of Distress (SRD) applications have been approved can expect to receive their R370 payments during the final week of July 2025, starting from Friday ( July 25, 2025) until July 31, 2025.
According to SASSA, approved recipients will be paid between 9 am and 5 pm on the following days:
- Friday, July 25
- Saturday, July 26
- Sunday, July 27
- Monday, July 28
- Tuesday, July 29
- Wednesday, July 30
- Thursday, July 31
“If your SASSA status shows Approved, then you can receive the R370 payment on the following days,” SASSA confirms.
Applicants are urged to frequently verify their SRD application status, especially if they have submitted an appeal or reconsideration.
“It is very necessary to verify daily that if you are approved for SRD grant funds or not,” SASSA advises.
“Your application is either in pending status, approved, or declined.”
For those still awaiting outcomes, the most common application update remains pending.
“This is a very common status that does not have any issues,” SASSA states.
It means the application has been received and is undergoing review by SASSA officials.
However, some applicants might face delays due to issues like failed identity verification.
“This might be due to unclear scans, mismatched information, or missing details,” SASSA explains.
Others may receive a “Self-exclusion response found,” indicating the applicant exceeds the income threshold of R624 per month or is receiving another social grant. In such cases, they do not qualify for the SRD benefit.
In another possible case, the application might be forwarded for further checks by the Department of Home Affairs (DHA). This is reflected by a “Referred Status.”
According to the agency, there are 80 to 90% chances that your SASSA application will be approved under this status.
Beneficiaries can check their approval, appeal status, or payment date by visiting the SASSA status checker online and entering their South African ID number and cellphone number.
As the final week of July approaches, approved recipients are reminded to monitor their payment status closely and collect their funds within the specified hours.
