After your organization submits your application package through srd.sassa.gov.za, you can check the progress of your application. The Check Application Status page contains a list of all applications submitted by your organization. Depending on your role and access level, you may only be able to see applications you’ve worked on. The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) is responsible for distributing the R350 grant to vulnerable individuals to improve their standard of living.
Once an application enters the federal funding agency’s initial review process, the applicant must use that agency’s system to track further progress or status.

| Agency Tracking Number Assigned | The agency has assigned an internal tracking number to your application. This is the last status that Grants.gov tracks. Updates beyond this must be checked with the agency directly. Note: All agencies do not assign tracking numbers. If you do not see an agency tracking number, this does not infer that the agency did not receive or process your application. The assignment of tracking numbers is based on the policy of a particular agency. |
| Purged | The application has been on the system for 5 years or more and has been purged from the system. Note: The application purge period was increased from 180 days to 5 years on October 20, 2015, so all applications submitted on or after April 22, 2015 will be stored for 5 years. All applications submitted before April 22, 2015 have been deleted under the previous 180 day purge period. |
