The "SASSA SRD status check for unemployed" gets to the heart of the grant's primary target demographic: unemployed individuals with no source of income. The monthly status check is the mechanism that confirms whether an applicant still meets this core criterion each month. The automated system checks for any newly reported income, UIF registration, or NSFAS funding that would disqualify an applicant. For the unemployed, this status check is a vital monthly confirmation of continued support.
