FAQ On SASSA

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) On SASSA SRD (Social Relief of Distress Grant)

1. What is the meaning of Pending status?
The application is in progress, when verification is completed, the applicant will receive a SMS notification of the outcome. Only those with status Approved will receive the SMS notification with a website link to submit bank details or to select a bank for cash transfer if unbanked.

2. If I applied in May 2020 and get approved, will I receive double payment in June 2020?
The Payment for May will be paid, and the application will be re-validated in June, and if the applicant still meets the criteria, the June payment will also be processed. These payment may not necessarily come in one lump-sum payment, or on the same day either.

3. Can I use another person’s account if I do not have a bank account neither a cell Phone?
Where an applicant does not have a bank account, he/she must indicate from the drop down list the nearest bank through which they want to be paid. Money will therefore be paid into the applicant’s cellphone number.

Where an applicant does not have a bank account and does not have a cell phone registered in his/her name, the payment will be made through the post office.

Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. There is something fishy about this R350 grant, I was approved for June with the the pay day. On the 30th of June, I got the notification of R350 from SASSA but when I went to withdraw, the money was not there. I drew the statement to my surprise that R350 didn’t even appear on my statement. I asked for help at the bank, they check for me only to find that the R350 was reversed by SASSA.

2. If you haven’t collected your money at the post office since last year, Let’s say you didn’t have an ID by that time and now your ID is out. As we all know that the post office is no longer working for SASSA, is there any link where you can change your R350 to get collected in those stores where the money is being collected now, cause sometimes they are telling us that we don’t appear in their system.

3. The site to update banking details is inactive, many people want to correct their mistakes by submitting incorrect banking details yet unable to. Many articles about changing details yet not one will allow us to update the details. The Toll Free number cuts off all calls pertaining to the Covid-19 grants so how can we update our banking details if the sites are not allowing nor is anyone answering our calls?

Error / Problem:
I want to change my banking details for SRD but every time I go in by the app it says, I have already tried to change my banking details in past 24 hours but I can’t even get into the app to change my details. Can you please assist me on getting the money by Pick n Pay
