A "SASSA SRD status check for new applications" refers to the process for individuals who have applied for the grant for the very first time. After submitting all required information, new applicants should allow a reasonable period for processing and verification before checking their status. The initial status will likely be "Pending" as the system runs comprehensive checks across multiple databases. New applicants should be patient but diligent, checking their status regularly to see if it moves to "Approved" or if it is "Declined," requiring an appeal.
