SASSA grants are not something you should be worried about if your application has been submitted and your SASSA status has not been converted yet. It is difficult for SASSA to handle many applications and process them quickly since millions of people apply for SASSA SRD grants. Verifying and processing each application takes time.
If your application is pending, it means that it has not yet been approved. Don’t Panic! You need to wait until it has been verified. However, what if your SASSA R350 application took longer than expected and your status is still pending? I will guide you through this article about what SASSA status pending means, how your application is processed, and how long it can take to be approved.
Why is My SASSA Srd Grant Status Pending [Reason & Solution]
There are several reasons why your application is still pending. The high volume of SRD grant applications submitted to SASSA is one of the reasons. Your application might still be behind in the queue due to the thousands of applications in the queue. Every application is manually verified by SASSA, which takes a lot of time.
How long does SASSA Status Pending take?
Within 30 days, applicants are generally approved (or declined with a reason).
For any updates to their SRD R350 grant status, SASSA encourages its beneficiaries to check their SRD grant status. Following the verification process, the agency will verify your name, surname, and ID number with the Department of Home Affairs.
To keep yourself updated on your application’s status, check your status regularly.
What can I do if my SASSA Srd R350 Status is still pending?
After submitting your SRD R350 grant application, you must wait three months. You need to take action if your SASSA application has been pending for over 90 days and is still pending to avoid further delay.
Follow these steps to speed up the process and get an update on your application:
Can You Speed Up the SASSA Application Process?
SASSA applications cannot be guaranteed to be processed more quickly. You can speed up the processing of your application by following some steps. Your SASSA requests must be fulfilled, your documentation must be accurate, and you must monitor the application status frequently.
What Happens If Your SASSA Application Is Declined?
If your application is rejected or declined, SASSA will send you a written decision. You will be provided with the reasons for the rejection as well as the steps you can take if you wish to appeal. You have 90 days to appeal the decision if you disagree with it.
Why my SASSA status is still pending?
Applicants who see SASSA Status Pending may be told that either their application details are being reviewed by different departments, or some information is missing from the form. You should wait for a period of 90 days.
How do I check my pending SASSA balance?
There are two codes that you must dial. *120*3210# and *120*69277# to check your Sassa balance in 2024. For complete guidance read this Check SASSA balance article.
What to do if my Sassa Application is not approved after 90 days?
You should contact SASSA via WhatsApp, toll-free, or by visiting a local office if your application is still pending after 90 days.
Conclusion
It is important to note that a pending SASSA status does not imply rejection. As a result of SASSA’s large workload, there are delays in processing applications. Your eligibility is still being reviewed by SASSA, which involves a comprehensive process that involves multiple checks and verifications. Please contact SASSA through WhatsApp, their Toll-Free number, or by visiting a local office if you haven’t heard from them within 90 days. SASSA grants are more likely to be received if you follow the above steps with patience.
