What Does Sassa status pending Mean?
They left many SASSA R350 grant applicants with the status ‘Pending,’ with no idea what this means or where their application is. Read on to learn more about what this means and what happens to your application after you submit it.
Many SASSA SRD R350 grant applicants have stated that their SASSA SRD status is ‘Pending.’ According to Sassa, ‘Pending’ means someone has not yet approved your application. Sassa is still scanning your information so that they can verify it first.
Why Is My Sassa Grant Still Pending?
According to the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa), a ‘Pending’ application status means that someone has not yet approved their application. The agency is still scanning the applicant’s information so that it can be verified.
Sassa advises applicants to monitor their Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant status for any updates. After the application has been verified, the agency verifies the applicant’s name, surname, and ID number with the Department of Home Affairs.
To ensure that applicants do not have other grants or sources of income, their ID numbers are cross-checked against databases such as the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF), South African Revenue Services (SARS), and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).
