Why is my Sassa R350 declined?
To encourage more South Africans without jobs to apply for the award, the DSD also made a number of amendments to the requirements.
These changes include increasing the income edge to R624 and eliminating bank confirmation as the main criteria for determining eligibility. These changes can affect your SASSA status.
Below are common reason why your SASSA R350 is declining:
NSFAS Registered
If you are a beneficiary of the national student fund help program, we will decline your application
Existing Sassa Grant
The applicant is a current recipient of a social grant other than a child grant
UIF registered
The applicant is eligible for UIF benefits based on TERS OR contributions to UIF OR is currently receiving the unemployment insurance fund benefit.
Gov. Payroll registered
The applicant is in employment at a government institution
Debtor.
The client was paid R350 once or more, for which the client did not qualify. The error was picked and the money is withheld to correct the error.
Payment will resume if the client still qualifies, once all the outstanding R350s are recovered. Why is my Sassa R350 declined?
Age Outside Range (60)
The applicant does not qualify for the grant due to not meeting the age requirement (60) suspended (deceased record on DHA)
