HSS Status Check Online

About HSS Status Check Online

NOT A GOVERNMENT APP. HSS Online Status Check is an independent app and does not represent, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or authorised by, any government entity.

HSS Online Status Check lets South Africans check their housing subsidy (HSS) application status online in seconds — using only the 13-digit South African ID number on the application.

OFFICIAL GOVERNMENT SOURCES
Every status this app displays is read from the South African government's own public housing subsidy service and shown to you unmodified. You can verify any result yourself at the original sources:
• Housing Subsidy System (HSS) online status service — https://www.hssonline.gov.za
• National Department of Human Settlements — https://www.dhs.gov.za
• Department of Human Settlements call centre — 0800 146 873
The Department's website and contact details are also available inside the app, on the Contact screen.
