Status Approved but SASSA Payment Not Received

If your grant status is approved but no payment has been received, log in to the SASSA portal to verify that your banking details are correct. You need to confirm with your bank that your account is active and there are no issues with pending payments or transactions. SASSA deposits payments into the beneficiary’s account within 2 business days after grant processing is completed. If you still haven’t received your grant funds, Contact SASSA for assistance.

My Grant Status Approved but No Payment Date Shown

For newly approved applicants, SASSA provides detailed information in the initial month’s status results, including the application status, application ID, and the first month’s payment date. After the first month, beneficiaries should regularly check the SASSA payment dates for their specific grant type to stay updated on the payment schedule and know when to expect funds for the approved months.

Details of SASSA Status Messages

SASSA status informed beneficiaries regularly to stay updated on their grant eligibility, application or reapplication status, reasons for payment delays, expected payment dates, progress of lodged appeals, and reconsideration requests. SASSA messages provide critical status to update your personal details, such as contact information and banking details, to ensure smooth grant payments.

Means Test Income Source Identified

During the SASSA verification process, the means test identified an alternate income source. This means your ID is registered as either a government employee or a private sector worker with monthly earnings. This identification voids your eligibility for the SASSA grant unless you are unemployed and provide proof in your appeal for reconsideration.

Grant Status Referred Meaning

SASSA requires further authentication and verification of your application details, as it may be suspected of fraud. This means either your ID was used for another SASSA grant or the Department of Home Affairs (DHA) found your ID registered in deceased person records. If you are the original ID holder, you must verify your identity in your appeal through the ITSAA portal.

SASSA Found Self-Exclusion Response

The self-exclusion response means SASSA rejected your application based on exceeding earnings in your account. This could be due to receiving financial support from UIF, SARS, or NSFAS, or your bank balance exceeds the grant amount such as R370 for Social Relief Grant and R2,240 for social grants). Applicants living in government facilities are also affected.

Identity Verification Failed Status

The Identity Verification Failed status means SASSA found no match for your information in the Department of Home Affairs database. This often happens with new applicants who submitted incorrect ID numbers in their SASSA online application for R370 or other social grants.

To resolve this, call SASSA helpline at 0800601011 or email [email protected] to correct and update your application. Ensure all personal details (name, surname, date of birth, and ID number) match exactly with your official South African ID document.

Note: If you’ve recently gotten married or updated your ID details (e.g., name or surname), visit sassa.gov.za to update your personal details with the latest ID document as proof.

SASSA Status Show Grant Declined

If an applicant receives an SASSA application status check declined, it means their application was not approved, and a reason is provided. Several factors can lead to an unsuccessful application, including:

• Not meeting the eligibility criteria for the grant such as age requirements, no proof of disability, or unemployment.
• Failing the SASSA Means Test due to an alternative income source or financial support from another government program.
• Submitting an incomplete application, applying for multiple SASSA grants, or submitting more than one application for the same grant type.

Submit SASSA Appeal for Reconsideration

If your grant application is declined, you can lodge an appeal with the Department of Social Development within 60 days of receiving your status. Submitting a SASSA appeal means you are challenging the decision and providing reasons why you believe you are eligible and why your application should be reconsidered. If your reason is valid, your application will be reviewed again and may be approved, allowing you to start receiving the SASSA funds you need.
