If you are a beneficiary of social grants, chances are that you may want to know how to check SASSA balance without having to go to the Post Office, bank or an ATM.
The good news is that SASSA (SA Social Security Agency) has made it possible to do it using your phone right from the comfort of your home.
How to check SASSA balance
To check your SASSA balance, simply dial *120*3210# and press send. Next, enter your ID number and your account balance will appear.
According to the Agency, beneficiaries get one free balance inquiry per month. Thereafter, a cost of 60c will apply for each inquiry.
Balance inquiries via phone eliminate the need to leave your residence before funds reflect in your account, thereby saving you time and money.
It also helps you avoid long queues at ATMs or the Post Office, something that is even more beneficial and safe during the ongoing pandemic.
Checking your balance can also help you discover discrepancies, which you should report to your bank or the Post Office immediately.
In case you suspect fraud, you may report it by contacting SASSA’s grants and fraud hotline on 0800 601 011.

Guys, I don’t know if you saw this or not. But, there’s a post about CurrentAffairsZA waiting for a response from SASSA about the balance check numbers that are not working. I think it’s inappropriate for anyone to ask CurrentAffairsZA to supply working numbers for the SASSA SRD Grant Balance Check at this point.
Has anyone been able to obtain the correct USSD number yet ?
Has Currentaffairs had a response from Sassa or Post bank yet ? Please let us know.
Hello Deutschmann,
Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, there has been no response from SASSA. We will keep following up.
Kind regards, AB.
