BySiyabonga August 16, 2025

You heard somewhere to check Sassa Balance via *130* right? Well! There is an interesting fact I am gonna share with you. 

You must have read online that people were searching and asking each other about How To Check Sassa Balance *130*and you thought why not try it? 

Well! the answer I got is “ This is not a Sassa Balance Check code” *130* is actually a Cell C service. Always double-check especially when it comes to essential services. also always believe in authentic updates released by Sassa. 

Sassa has never issued any update verifying *130* as the balance check code. SASSA has specific codes and online services dedicated to Sassa balance inquiries and other services. 

How Should I Check My Balance Online?

“Once it is cleared that the USSD code 130 is NOT for checking your SASSA balance. It is linked to Cell C mobile services and has no connection to SASSA.”

You can follow given workable methods below to check your Sassa SRd balance online, Don’t worry these are tested and authentic ones.
