Although, you’ll be still qualified for the grant if you have not updated your personal information in any way that makes you disqualified for the SRD R350 grant.

For example, if you get employment or get another grant or bursary, then you’ll be disqualified to receive Sassa r350 grant and you should try to check your status the next month to make sure that your grant is canceled.

How Do I Know If My SRD Grant Is Approved?

You will get to know if your srd grant is approved by checking your r350 application status.

There are various methods to check your srd r350 application status.

Why Is My Sassa R350 Grant Approved But I Don’t Have Payment Date?

You do not see the payment date even though your status shows approved. This is because SASSA has not processed your payment information yet.

However, you should not be worried because SASSA will finalize the process of your payment details and give you a date on which you’ll get paid for your Social Relief of Distress (SRD) r350 grant.

You should see SASSA Grant Payment Dates for the detailed dates of each month for Sassa payments.

Is Getting To Know If Your SASSA SRD R350 Grant Approved Process Difficult?

No, the process of getting to know if your sassa r350 grant is approved is not difficult.

The process is as same as I have listed above. Additionally, you can use any of the methods, be it online, via WhatsApp, SMS, or by calling SASSA itself as mentioned above.

Do I Have To Know If My SASSA SRD R350 Grant Is Approved?

Yes, you should know the status of your grant application. In fact, it’s very important to know if your application for the srd r350 grant is approved or not.

This helps you to know whether you’ll be receiving your R350 grant for the month in question or you’ll not per what your grant status will show.

After your application is approved, SASSA also tries to verify and approve your payment details based on the information you provided per the payment method you choose.

There’s nothing to worry about if you have provided all the required payment information. SASSA says they are still processing pending payments.

It’s quite unfortunate that SASSA has not given any date on which they’re going to pay approved but pending payments of the SRD R350 grant. Nonetheless, Sassa says they’re going to pay all approved SRD R350 applications.

In the meantime, you should make sure that you have submitted your bank account to SASSA.

If your application says UIF registered, you’ll have to appeal to SASSA through R350 reconsideration, and also, you’ll complete a form declaration form to prove your information are current and you’re not UIF registered.

SASSA has assured all qualifying applicants that they will receive their payments for all previous months by June. However, you’ll only get paid if you were approved for payment for those previous months.

As for the pending, it simply means SASSA has not processed your application yet and according to SASSA, all applications will be worked on by June. So have patience.

In order to get your SASSA approved, you have to make sure you qualify for the grant. SASSA verifies all R350 grant beneficiaries each month to ensure you still qualify for the grant. If you have any other source of income, SASSA will not approve you for the R350 grant.

The OTP is a One Time Pin you receive in the registration process when you submit your number and cell phone number. Once you receive the OTP, follow the application instructions to complete your application for the grant.

After submitting all the required information, SASSA will verify and possibly approve your application and give you a payment date on which you’ll collect your R350.

This could be a technical issue on the SASSA website, or SASSA is still processing your application to make sure you still qualify for the grant. First, if you are sure that you still qualify for R350 and this is still happening, you have to contact SASSA for inquiry. Use any of these SASSA Contact Details to make your inquiries.

Before you get get your SRD R350 grant payment, SASSA has to verify and approve you for the month. So, if your September and December grants were not approved for payment, you will not get your R350.

However, if you’re approved, then SASSA will process all remaining R350 and pay you.
