Performing an SRD status check is an essential step for anyone who has applied for a SASSA grant, especially the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant. It helps you stay informed about the progress of your application and understand what the different status messages actually mean.
If you’ve applied for a SASSA grant like the SRD, understanding your application status is key. Here’s what each status means:
Pending
This means your application is still being processed. SASSA is verifying your information with various government departments. Be patient and make sure your contact and banking details are correct.
Approved
Good news—your application was successful. You’ll receive payment soon, either into your bank account or via the method you selected. Check the payment date and monitor your account.
Declined
Your application didn’t meet the requirements. Common reasons include other sources of income, UIF or NSFAS support, or incorrect personal details. You can appeal the decision through the SASSA website if you believe it’s a mistake.
