An alternative source of income means SASSA has found out that you’re getting money through your account. To avoid this, find another way to receive money other than your bank account.

First of all, you should appeal for the April and May declined grants.

Second of all, SASSA says they’re processing all approved but pending payments of SRD R350. So, your May grant will be paid once SASSA finishes the processing.

And, SASSA SRD R350 application pending status simply means your application has not been processed yet. That for your July and August R350 application.

Secondly, pending status means SASSA has not processed your SRD application yet. According to SASSA, they’re still processing lots of pending applications.

Alternative Source of Income means you are receiving money through your bank account. Usually, when you have more than the R350 as the income threshold required by SASSA, it disqualifies you from the SRD grant.

Again, once your grant is declined, the only option is to appeal for reconsideration.

Is that a payment?

Reply
Universityonlineapplication August 4, 2022 - 11:04 am

Yes, if someone is using your bank account to send or receive money, SASSA cannot verify that the money is not your own. Thereby, by all consideration, SASSA will take it as you have another source of income and so, will decline your R350 grant.

So, suggest that you let your family members find other means of transferring money but not through your bank account if you need the SRD R350.

If your grants are declined, the only option is to appeal. So, we advise that you appeal all the months in which you were declined.

Also, if they are approved but you have not received the payment yet, then there’s nothing to worry about. SASSA says they are still processing pending payments.

Nonetheless, you can also go to the nearest SASSA office to make an inquiry into your grants

I have received the R350 grant from September 2021 up until February 2022. Suddenly March 2022 has been declined, Sassa says “other income source identified” which is not true, check my bank account again. I reapplied in April 2022, now April and May is still “Pending” and June 2022 has been “Declined” Sassa says “other income source identified””. Please check my bank account again.Im still unemployed and not getting support from anyone.

Unfortunately, sometimes, SASSA’s reason to decline SRD grants is not accurate. However, if they do decline, the only option is to appeal. So, we strongly advise that you appeal your declined SRD grants for reconsideration.

With the pending grants, yes, lots of Sassa r350 grants are still pending. According to SASSA, they’re still processing all pending applications and will finish in July. So, let’s hope they do pay as they’ve said.
