SASSA

Check SASSA Balance on Your Phone

It is important to regularly check SASSA balance if you’re receiving the SASSA R350 or any other social grant. Monitoring your balance helps ensure you meet the eligibility criteria under the SASSA means test, which is reviewed monthly for both new applicants and existing beneficiaries.

Check SASSA Balance

  1. Dial the USSD Code on your mobile phone dial *120*3210#
  2. Follow the prompt and select the option to check SASSA balance from the automated menu.
  3. Verify your ID number to confirm you are the registered SASSA grant recipient.
  4. View your current balance on your phone and receive SMS details for your balance inquiry.

Once you have found your balance, you should reconfirm your SASSA status to check whether your grant payment has been approved and when you can expect to receive it.

Checking Your Balance Without Airtime

You can check your SASSA balance using your SASSA card at an ATM without needing airtime by following these steps.

  1. Go to any ATM from a major bank, such as a Post Bank branch ATM.
  2. Insert your SASSA Gold Card into the ATM slot.
  3. Enter your 4-digit PIN, the same PIN you use for other transactions with your SASSA card.
  4. Select ‘Balance Inquiry‘ from the menu options to check your SASSA balance.
  5. Your balance amount will appear on the screen. You also have the option to print a receipt with your balance information.

Important Reminder for SASSA Grant Recipients

  • SRD R350 grant recipients need to maintain a balance below R624. It is important to withdraw any excess balance before SASSA payment dates.
  • Social grant beneficiaries keep their balance to their grant amount. If your balance exceeds, your SASSA status declined and not approved for the month.
  • You can always check
