Some Important Information From Comments

Comments:
1. I declined for June, reason is ‘self exclusionary respond found’, but I am not working anywhere. Somebody change my cellphone number which I had given at the time of registration. When I checked my status, it says failed.

2. I applied for first time when grant introduced but my application got rejected So I re-applied, early this year, got approved and promised to be back paid for five months. I only get paid amount of R700 for one month. Then the new system of applying was implemented. I applied online and approved, suppose to get paid in June. Like everyone, nothing was showing in my bank account.

3. I have been declined for 4 months from December to March. I have been approved and pay day is out but I did not receive any money from those months and I have been declined again for June. I want to know about, what happened to that money.

4. I have been waiting on my reconsideration SRD application since August, September, October and November of 2021. It shows pending and I have emailed SASSA regarding my reconsideration. For December 2021,January, February, March 2022, it was approved and paid out to me. But April 2022, is still in pending. Since the other months indicated on payment why I am still waiting on the reconsideration to be paid out. As the reply on my emails said, it was approved for 2021 as mentioned above for reconsideration why the payout taking almost a year.

5. I have been declined because I am UIF registered. I worked in Woolworths for a 1 month contract casual job. I have not made any contributions to UIF. I am unemployed from 14th January 2020 to current. How can I be helped to receive the Covid Relief Fund? I have sent emails but have not received any response as yet.

Error:
I have the following pay dates 4th June 2022, August 2021, September 2021, October 2021 and November 2021. When I went to Shoprite it shows, I am not registered at PNP it shows, I am declined. When I tried to log onto the page, It doesn’t open.

Complaint :
It’s regrettable that the management of SASSA, have decided to force distressed South Africans to reapply for the same grant which has been extended a number of times. This decision was ill conceived without due regard to application processing costs to both government and distressed South Africans. Departmental costs are activity driven, they should have used the same existing data files and updated them. Your system is cumbersome and to date, it is not working three days before month end let alone an official statement with regard to the new procedures.

Information:
Most of the commenters commented that, their application status is showing declined because of Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF)/ Source of Income and Pending.
