What Is Sassa?
The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) initiative by the South African government is a useful service especially designed to help unemployed people who have no other income, such as social grants or UIF payments.
It was launched during the COVID-19 pandemic to reduce poverty and provide financial help to those in need. With millions of South Africans relying on SASSA grants to survive, as poverty affects over 55.5% of the population and unemployment stands at 32.9% in 2024 (according to the World Bank), this program plays a critical role in ensuring people can meet their basic needs and have some financial support during difficult times.
The process is easy and transparent, building trust among the people. This initiative not only gives financial support but also provides hope and stability to those struggling. It’s a key step toward reducing poverty and improving the lives of vulnerable individuals.

Those who used to withdraw their SASSA grant through the post office can now collect their payment at retail stores like Shoprite, USave, Pick n Pay, or Boxer Stores by using the last three digits of their ID number. However, the post office no longer handles SRD R370 grant payments.
SASSA Status Approved But No Payment Date
This problem can occur for several reasons:
SASSA delay: The delay might happen because SASSA is still verifying your details before giving you a payment date. This process is important to ensure that all the information is correct and that the grant goes to the right person. If you face a delay, follow these steps:
- Check the SASSA website regularly: Updates on payment dates and verification status are often posted there. You can log in with your ID number for real-time information about your grant.
- Stay patient: Delays are sometimes unavoidable due to the large number of applications SASSA handles every day. Allow some time for them to complete the process.
- Contact SASSA: For help with your SASSA R370 grant, you can call the SASSA Contact Centre at 0800 60 10 11 or visit your local SASSA office. Make sure to have your ID number and application details ready to speed things up.
Here are additional steps to follow when contacting SASSA:
- Prepare your documents: Have your ID and any messages from SASSA ready.
- Be clear and concise: Explain your issue clearly and provide all necessary details to the SASSA representative for quick assistance.
- Check your bank details: Make sure your banking information is submitted and verified. If there are issues, update your details to avoid delays. Here’s how:
- Verify online: Log in to the SASSA website to check if your banking information is correct and verified.
- Update your details: If there are mistakes, update your banking information through the website or by visiting a local SASSA office.
- Confirm with your bank: Sometimes the issue is with the bank. Contact your bank to ensure they received the correct information from SASSA and there are no problems with your account.
By following these steps, you can resolve common issues that cause delays and ensure you receive your SASSA R370 payment on time.
Understanding Why Your Srd Status Check Might Be Declined
There are several reasons why your Sassa SRD grant application might be declined. The South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) thoroughly checks each application to ensure only those who qualify receive the grant. Here are some common reasons for rejection:
- Minimum Bank Balance Requirement: If your bank balance is above a certain amount, usually 624 Rands, your application may be denied. The R370 grant is meant for those with no income.
- Exclusion Criteria: If you receive income from other government sources like the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS), or other social grants, your application may not be approved.
- Age Eligibility: The grant has specific age limits, and if you are outside this age range, your application will be declined.
- Incorrect Application Information: Providing wrong details, such as ID number, income, bank information, mobile number, or residential address, can cause your application to be rejected. Sassa checks all information thoroughly.
- Delays and Appeals: Even if your details are correct, delays can occur due to the high number of applications. If you think your application was unfairly denied, you can file an appeal.
What to Do After a Sassa Status Decline
If your Sassa SRD grant application is declined, the reason will be shown in the status message. Once you know why it was rejected, you can take steps to fix it. Here are your options:
- Appeal the Decision: If you believe there was a mistake, you can appeal. Sassa has a process for challenging rejections on their website.
- Re-apply with Correct Information: If your application was rejected due to incorrect details, you can re-apply with the right information.
- Wait for Further Communication: Sometimes delays happen due to high application volumes. If Sassa needs more information from you, they will contact you.
By understanding the reason for the decline and following these steps, you can improve your chances of receiving the Sassa SRD grant.
Srd Status Check: What Does Pending Mean?
A “pending” status on your Sassa SRD R370 grant application means Sassa has not processed it yet and is still verifying your details.
- What Happens During Verification?
- Sassa checks your information against government databases, like the Department of Home Affairs, to confirm your eligibility for the grant.
- When Will You Know?
- Sassa advises applicants to wait up to 90 days for the verification process to be completed. There’s no fixed timeline for this.
- What Happens After Approval?
- If your application is approved, you’ll get an SMS from Sassa asking for your bank details to start the payment process.
- Payment Processing Time
- Once approved, Sassa takes up to 7 business days to process the payment. However, there are no set payment dates for the SRD grant.
- What Does “Referred” Status Mean?
- If your application status says “referred,” it means Sassa has sent your documents to other government departments for further verification. The outcome will be updated once verification is complete.
Understanding “Means Income Source Identified” in SRD Status
If you checked your SRD R370 application status and saw “Means Income Source Identified,” it means the Sassa organization has found details about your income. This shows that your monthly household income is higher than the allowed limit.
Remember, financial aid is only given to those who truly need it and have a monthly income that is equal to or below the set limit.
Post Office Not Selected for SASSA Srd Grant
When applicants for the SASSA Grant (SRD R370) see “Post Office Not Selected” in their application status, it means their application hasn’t been processed due to bank account verification issues. To resolve this, SASSA allows applicants to choose a Post Office location for payment collection. They can do this by visiting the official SRD R370 grants website and following the prompts to select a branch. Not selecting a location may lead to ongoing “application not selected” notifications. Therefore, accurately registering at a chosen Post Office is essential for receiving the grant and addressing financial challenges.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
How long does it take for SASSA to process an application?
Processing times can vary, but it typically takes 2-4 weeks for SASSA to process your application. Delays may occur if there is a high volume of applications or if your details need extra verification.
Can I appeal a declined SASSA status?
Yes, you can appeal a declined application through the SASSA SRD appeal website within 30 days of receiving the decline notice.
What should I do if I receive an “approved but no payment date” message?
Make sure your bank details are correct on the SASSA website and check regularly for updates. Contact SASSA if the issue persists.
How can I check my SASSA balance?
You can check your balance by dialing *120*3210# or *120*69277#, visiting a SASSA office, or checking online.
