Firstly, it’s important to note that checking your SASSA R350 grant status is crucial in keeping track of your application and ensuring that you receive the grant you have applied for. To check the status of your application, visit the official website of the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) SASSA at www.rsd.sassa.gov.za. Alternatively, you can check your status by dialing 134773# on your cell phone.

Once you’ve accessed the website or dialed the USSD code, enter your identification number (ID number) and phone number, then click “Check Now.” Your SASSA R350 grant status will then get displayed, indicating whether your application was approved or declined.

If your application was approved, congratulations! You’ll receive the grant every month along with all other beneficiaries of the RSD grant. However, if your application got declined, don’t despair.

Why is My SASSA Approved But No Payday?

Have you been approved for the SASSA SRD R350 grant but have yet to receive your payment? Don’t worry because you’re not alone. Many applicants face this issue, but there are solutions to get your payment as soon as possible.

Firstly, it’s important to note that SASSA may not have processed your payment yet, so it’s best to wait patiently. If you’ve been waiting for a while, please take action by providing SASSA with the necessary information they need to process your payment. Read the guidelines on submitting your banking details to SASSA to ensure that your details are verified and match what they have in their database.

You can also choose a payment method that suits you best, whether through merchant stores, banks, Post Offices, or other PayPoints near you. Just make sure to read the guides on how to collect your payment through your chosen method.

In rare cases, changing your payment method might be necessary, especially if you’ve selected the post office as your payment method. It’s crucial to stay up-to-date with any changes made by SASSA to ensure that you receive your payment on time.

Why is SASSA Still Pending?

Have you applied for the SASSA R350 grant and wondering why it’s still pending? The good news is that there are explanations for the delay in the approval and payment of your grant.

Firstly, if the information you provided to SASSA during the application process needs to be corrected, it may cause a delay in the approval of your grant. SASSA needs to verify your information to ensure that you qualify for the grant and deserve to get your application approved.

Additionally, suppose you are a UIF registered beneficiary or don’t meet the requirements for the grant. In that case, your application may not be approved, and your status will remain pending for longer.

It’s important to note that SASSA is still processing your application, and the pending status simply means that they have yet to approve it. The processing time varies, but it usually takes seven days for most applicants to solve it.
