SASSA July 2025 Status – The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has announced a major update for millions of SRD R350 grant recipients. After weeks of technical delays and complaints, the online status check tool using ID numbers is now fully functional again for July 2025. This comes as a massive relief to those who depend on the grant each month and were left in the dark regarding payment dates, approval status, or rejections. The Status Check Tool on the official SASSA website and Moya app had been temporarily offline due to a system migration to Postbank and increased traffic volumes. This outage caused frustration among applicants who couldn’t track their July 2025 payments or confirm whether their application was still active. With the tool now back online, users can instantly verify the status of their application, know the exact payday, and get updates if further documents or bank details are needed. SASSA has confirmed that the reactivation of the tool applies to all SRD R350 applicants, including those previously rejected or marked as ‘pending’. Beneficiaries are encouraged to use their 13-digit South African ID number along with their registered cellphone number to get real-time updates. This article will guide you through the July 2025 grant updates, payment tracking instructions, and how to handle rejections or delays.
