why is my sassa r350 grant still pending

Last updated on September 22nd, 2022 at 08:54 am

Why is my SASSA R350 Grant still pending? Do you want to know why your SASSA R350 grant is still pending? Is your SRD status pending and do you wonder why it’s been too long?

Well, there’s an explanation for the reason why is my SRD R350 grant pending approval and payment.

In this article, we’re discussing and explaining with answers why is my SRD R350 Grant still pending.

We’ll look at some of the causes, and how to solve such issues.

So, let us walk right to the topics.

Why Is My SASSA R350 Grant Still Pending?

Your SASSA R350 is pending because SASSA has not approved your SRD R350 application yet. When you check your R350 grant status and it’s pending, it means the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has not approved your application for the grant.

After you have submitted your application for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) R350 grant, SASSA will have to process your application through various stages before either approving or declining your application for the R350 grant.

When you Check Your R350 Status, you’ll see application “pending” when SASSA has not finished processing your application and approved it.

SASSA SRD R350 Grant Pending status means your application is not approved yet.

universityonlineapplication.com

Now that you know why your SASSA R350 grant is still pending, let us look at some of the other factors that may cause the delay in your application getting approved.

Your Information Is Not Correct?

When the information you provided to SASSA when you were applying for the grant is not correct, SASSA may not be able to verify your data and hence, may delay in approving your application for the R350 grant.

Again, if your information is not correct, your application for the SRD R350 grant may be declined.

In such a case, you’ll have to appeal to SASSA to provide the correct personal information before you get approved for the Covid-19 SRD R350 grant.

You should read How To Appeal To SASSA R350 Grant for the step-by-step guide to appeal successfully to SASSA to get approved for the R350 grant.

SASSA Coul Not Verify Your Information?

Your SASSA R350 grant is still pending because SASSA could not verify your information.

SASSA tries to verify your information from the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) to make sure all the information you provided in your application is correct.

Also, the verification of your information by the DHA proves that you qualify for the grant and deserves to get your application approved.

SASSA will try to verify your Surname and other names, and also your identification document number (ID Number) from the Department of Home Affairs to make sure they match the ones you provided in your application.

If they don’t match, your application will be pending and later declined unless you reapply for the grant.

We do recommend that you read How To Reapply For SASSA R350 Grant for the guide to reapply successfully for the grant.

You Are UIF Registered

When SASSA finds out that you are Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) registered beneficiary, your application for the R350 grant will not be approved.

One of the requirements of SASSA R350 grant is that you should not be receiving any other grant or funding.

For example, you should not be employed or have any source of income.

We do recommend that you read What Does SASSA R350 UIF Registered Status Means for the full explanation of what it means and what you should do to get your R350 grant approved when your status shows UIF Registered.

You Do Not Qualify For R350 Grant

Your SRD R350 grant is still pending because you do not qualify for the grant. In order to get your application for R350 approved, you should qualify for the grant.

Applicants who do not meet the requirements and qualify for the grant may not get their application approved and their status will be on pending for a longer.

You should therefore get to know Who Qualifies For SASSA SRD R350 Grant? for the detailed requirements and documents you need to qualify for the grant.

How Long Does SASSA Pending Takes?

There’s no specific given period as to why your SASSA R350 grant application or payment pending takes to get resolved.

However, we’ve noticed that it usually takes at most 7 days to get it solved for most applicants.

First, before you’ll get your pay date, SASSA has to verify your banking details. We strongly recommend that you submit your bank account details to SASSA for approval. If you have, then there’s nothing to worry about. SASSA says they’re still processing pending payments.

Second, according to SASSA, they have not started verification of May grants yet.

If you have reapplied the reconsideration, then there’s nothing to worry about. SASSA will make it checks and will know that you’re not UIF registered and will approve you if you meet the requirements.

MPHO MATLOU June 10, 2022 - 4:34 am

Hi I reapplied at APRIL so now it’s June. If its got approved this month does it means I’m not getting money for last past two months?

Reply
Universityonlineapplication June 13, 2022 - 8:52 am

SASSA pays for the months in which you’re approved for payments. So if you’re approved for payments for the last two months, then once SASSA approves your reapplications, all the previous pending payments will be processed and paid to you.

However, if those two months were not approved, then SASSA will not pay for those months.

When you do the application for reconsideration, SASSA will do its checks and will know you’re no more UIF registered. They will then approve your application if you meet the other requirements for the R350 grant.

You’ll only have to apply for the R350 grant reconsideration. SASSA will do its checks and will know that you’re no longer UIF registered and will approve your application for the R350 grant if you meet the other requirements.

Whenever your SASSA SRD R350 grant status says you’re either NSFAS registered or UIF registered, you’ll have to reapply for reconsideration and SASSA will do the background checks and verifications to see if you’re no more a beneficiary of any other grant or financial aid.

If you have already reapplied in April and your application is pending, there’s nothing to do again. SASSA says they’re processing all pending applications and payments and will finish by the end of June. You only have to wait till June ends to check again.

Hi I’m Camella Jooste. I’ve been receiving the 350 SRD grant ever it started till last December….In January 2022 till March 2022 it declined because it says I’m UIF registered. Yes I’ve worked on Election Day on the 1st of November 2021 for the IEC but that was only for one day. So I went to the Department of labour and they couldn’t help me then they referred me to SASSA i did exactly that even at SASSA they couldn’t help me they told me about the reconsideration application which I have already more than once and still there’s no luck….I reapplied in April and till this day it’s still pending I honestly don’t think this is fair because if u pick that someone is UIF registered please do enquire if they receiving money because I’m not receiving any money and yet it’s declining even after I’ve applied for the reconsideration more than once

If you have done all these queries in person but have no positive results, then the only option is to keep reapplying for reconsideration. Again, the general reapplication has been rolled out and all beneficiaries are to reapply. So, if you have done the reapplication and your status shows pending, SASSA says all pending applications and payments will be processed by the end of June.

You should therefore wait for the final application process by SASSA in June.

The SASSA R350 active status simply means SASSA has received your application and you should wait for them to process to verify your information. The active doesn’t mean you’ve been approved for the grant. It means you have successfully applied and submitted your application to SASSA.

There is no problem if your personal details, information, and documents are correct and can be verified by the Department of Home Affairs.

Once they finish, they will make a decision on whether you qualify or not and possibly approve you for the R350 grant.

First, you can still receive R350 even if your child is receiving Child Grant. However, a child’s grant can be suspended if SASSA finds out that the child’s information does not qualify for the grant.

If you have reapplied and it is still pending, it just simply means SASSA has not finished processing your application yet. SASSA will process and possibly approve you for the R350 grant if you qualify.

There’s no need to worry if you provided different payment details in the reapplication process. SASSA will only verify your information and approves it if they are correct. Once SASSA approves your application, they will pay you directly into the new payment details you have provided when reapplying.

Yes, pending means SASSA has not finished processing your application yet. Once they have verified and approved the information and documents you provided, they will make a decision on them as to whether you qualify for the R350 grant or not. If you do, SASSA will approve your application for the R350 grant.

Yes, SASSA is still processing applications. However, we advise that you do reapplication if you haven’t done it yet. SASSA has asked all beneficiaries of R350 to reapply and once your reapplication is verified and approved, you’ll get all your payments including the previous months that are not paid.

First, SASSA stopped processing payments for April since they asked all R350 beneficiaries to reapply for the grant. So, we recommend that you do the reapplication, and when SASSA finishes processing and verifying your reapplication information and documents, your payment will be approved for April and all other months that you didn’t receive payment.

SASSA will only decline your R350 if you do not qualify for the month.
Again, with the April payment, SASSA paused because they asked all beneficiaries to reapply. If you have not reapplied yet, we suggest you do it soon.

Again, providing correct information is not re-applying. SASSA has asked all R350 beneficiaries to reapply and provide the information and documents for the new requirements. We suggest that you do so and when SASSA verifies your reapplication and approves you for the R350, they will pay you the grant money including that of April.

@Diedre, we suggest that you do the new reapplication if you have not done it yet. Once you complete the new reapplication process, SASSA will process your information and verify them and then, pay your R350 and all the previous months which you were approved but has not been paid.

If you have provided the correct personal details as required in the application form, then SASSA will process your information to verify and validate them. Pending means, that SASSA has not processed your application yet.

Again, SASSA has made it public that, you don’t have to worry if your application is pending because they will take the next 3 months to finish processing all applications to pay them their grant monies.

The important thing is to make sure you have provided all required information and documents that qualifies you for the R350 grant.

SASSA will take it as your brother’s money is your own. It does not matter if it is your brother’s money. Once SASSA realizes there’s income flowing into your account, they do not ask where it is coming from or who is it for. The best option for your brother is to get his own account to receive his payment.

This is from Minister Zulu. “I assure all qualifying applicants that they will be in receipt of their payments for this iteration of the grant by June,”

That means all unpaid R350 will be paid at least in June.

This is because SASSA has realized that you have another source of income and SASSA has paid you previously when you did not qualify.

In order to get R350 grant, you must not have any source of income. We do recommend that you read Who Qualifies For SASSA R350 Grant? for a detailed explanation.

Ingrid May 6, 2022 - 4:42 pm

I reapplied in April and it’s still pending. However, in the reapplication process SASSA has a questionnaire of which there are questions which are difficult to answer but compulsory. Two of the questions relating to other income were where they asked how much do you receive monthly from other persons whether it be in the form of gifts or whatever and they give you a scale to choose from. But nowhere on the scale does it give you an option to select zero so you have to select the lowest amount on the scale which gives SASSA the impression that you are receiving money from somewhere. Then they ask a question about who helps you on a monthly basis with the bare necessities. Here again one is not given the option to state that no help is forthcoming so once again SASSA is under the impression that we’re receiving help and they’re at liberty to say that we should continue relying on that person for help. My question is: do our answers to questions we were forced to answer affect our reapplications in an adverse way? Thank you.

It could be that SASSA couldn’t verify your payment information for those months, or they’re still processing the payment. Whatever the case is, it’s SASSA that has absolute control over the distribution of payments.

However, we suggest that you call SASSA to make an inquiry since you’ve been paid in December. This means your information is correct and they will rectify any mistakes regarding the October and November 2021 payments.
