what can I do if my srd grant is approved but no payment

What can I Do if my srd grant is approved but no payment? Is your SASSA SRD R350 grant approved but has not been paid or does not have a payment date?

Are you wondering what you can do if your SRD R350 grant is approved but no payment has been made to you?

Why is your SRD grant approved but no payment? These are the things that happen to some of SASSA SRD R350 grant approved applicants.

But what can you do if your SRD grant is approved but no payment?

That is what this article is here to guide you so let’s jump straight to the topic.

What Can I Do If My SRD Grant Is Approved But No Payment?

First, your SRD grant is approved but no payment has been made yet because SASSA has not processed your R350 grant payment yet.

Second, sometimes, your SASSA SRD R350 grant is approved but no payment is made because there is not enough payment information for your SRD grant.

When you apply for SASSA SRD R350 grant, you are required to provide payment information. For example, bank account details.

We do recommend that you read How To Submit Banking Details To SASSA to provide your bank account information to SASSA so that they pay your R350 grant through it.

SASSA will then verify your payment information and make sure the details match what they have in their database and that of the Department of Home Affairs (SASSA).

So, here is what to do if your SASSA R350 grant is approved but no payment.

1. Choose SASSA R350 Grant Payment Method

You will have to choose a payment method for your SASSA SRD R350 grant payment. There are at least three (3) options to choose from for your SRD grant payment.

You can choose to receive your SASSA R350 grant payment via merchant stores, banks, Post offices, or other PayPoint near you.

With the merchant stores, you can collect your SRD payment at Boxer, USave, Shoprite, Pick ‘n Pay, or Checkers.

You should read How To Collect SASSA R350 Grant At Pick n Pay for the guide to collect your SRD payment at Pick ‘n Pay.

2. Provide Payment Information?

Again, your SASSA SRD R350 grant is approved but no payment because there’s not enough payment information available to SASSA for them to verify and approve your payment through.

In such a situation, you’ll have to provide the necessary information and all required information for that matter, in your SRD grant payment details so that SASSA can process and pay your approved R350 application through.

You should read Why Is My SASSA R350 Grant Still Pending? to know why your SRD grant payment is still pending when you’re approved for payment.

3. Change Your SASSA R350 Payment Method

Also, if your SASSA SRD grant is approved but no payment yet, you should change your SASSA R350 grant payment method.

For example, SASSA no longer pays R350 through the post office. So, if you have selected the post office as your payment method for your R350 grant, then you should change it.

You should read SASSA Asks Beneficiaries To Use Alternative Ways To Access Funds for the other ways to receive your SRD payments when approved aside from the post office.

Moreover, SASSA has made it clear that the SRD R350 grant will end soon and probably be replaced by another social grant.

For further information on that, you should read How Long Will SASSA R350 Grant Last? for a detailed explanation.

www.srd.sassa.gov.za is the webpage for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R350 grant of SASSA.

We do hope this article on what can I do if my SRD grant is approved but no payment was helpful?

You can ask your question in the comment.

Firstly, we suggest you use a separate bank account for each grant.

Secondly, your pending grant of September simply means SASSA has not finished processing your application yet.

Thirdly, you should read How Long Does SASSA Take To Verify Banking Details? for detailed information.

My sister applied for the srd grant using my mom’s phone number as she doesn’t have a phone of her own. Her payments have been approved but cannot access the money. I just read that the phone number must be registered in the recipients name in order to receive payment via paypoints.
My mom is also receiving the grant on the same phone number. Could this be the reason my sister cannot withdraw her money? As both applications are using 1 number? When my mom withdraw she gets her verification sms but when my sister tries, it says insufficient funds in her account.
If this is a possible problem, why were people allowed to apply for those who don’t have phones?

Yes, the number is one of the reasons why your sister is finding it difficult to withdraw her R350. The best option is to change her number. You should see How To Change R350 Cell Phone Number for the guide.

SASSA has to process your payment information before they send you your payment date. In your case, since you have a confirmation message that your bank details are approved and updated in the SASSA system there’s nothing to worry about.
