Our Background & History

mySRD was originally launched in 2020 under the name SASSA Status Check — a direct response to the widespread confusion and frustration many South Africans experienced while trying to access their SRD grants.

As the demand for accurate, real-time guidance grew, our platform quickly became one of the most visited and shared resources for SRD grant support in the country. In 2024, we rebranded to mySRD to better reflect our independent role and long-term commitment to serving the public with integrity and expertise.

With over 4 years of experience supporting SRD beneficiaries, our team is deeply familiar with the grant system, technical issues, policy changes, and common user challenges. We continue to evolve — driven by the needs of the people we serve.

Our Commitment to Accuracy and Your Privacy with the Status Check Tool

At SASSA Status Check, we understand the importance of both accurate information and the security of your personal data when you use our status check tool.

Accuracy:

  • We strive to provide the most current and precise information regarding SASSA processes, payment dates, and status meanings by referencing official SASSA communications and updates.
  • Our tool is designed to interface directly with the data provided by SASSA's official systems for real-time results.
  • The content on this website is regularly reviewed and updated to reflect any changes announced by SASSA.

Privacy:

  • No Data Storage: As emphatically stated in our privacy notice, your ID number and phone number entered into our status check tool are NOT stored, collected, or shared by SASSA Status Check.
  • Secure Processing: The information is transmitted for the real-time check and then immediately discarded from our interaction.
  • Transparency: We are clear that we are an independent resource and not SASSA itself. Our aim is to simplify your access to your own status information.

Your trust is essential to us. We are committed to maintaining a secure and reliable platform for all South Africans needing to check their grant status.
