There could be several reasons why you cannot check the SASSA SRD R350 status using the above form we shared. Here, I will discuss some possible reasons why you can’t check the SASSA SRD R350 status.

• Suppose you have recently submitted the SASSA SRD status application. In that case, you must wait some time for the status to be updated because, currently, SASSA is processing many applications.
• Ensure that you have accurately submitted the required information because inaccurate information makes the process difficult for the SASSA team to check whether you are eligible.

If you possessed the application a few weeks ago and still didn’t receive any info regarding the status, then it is best to contact the SASSA team by using this email “[email protected]”

Why Is My SASSA R350 Status Still Pending?

SASSA R350 status pending means that your application has successfully been received at the SASSA but is under verification. The verification process can take some time, depending on the number of applications submitted to SASSA. 

Please, also check that SASSA requires additional documents to process your application. Read this article if you don’t know what is required to submit the SASSA application.

Sometimes, delays can occur due to technical issues, but they are temporary, and there is no need to worry about them. SASSA will process your application again once they resolve the issue.

How Long Does SASSA Take To Get Paid?

The processing time of the SASSA grant depends on multiple factors, such as when you applied, the type of grant, the completeness of the application, and whether you applied online or offline. Suppose you have submitted the SASSA application online. The best chances are that you will receive the grant as soon as they approve it. You will receive the grant once they approve the application within 7 to 10 working days.

Most people prefer to get paid through the banks because the payments are faster than the post office. Please read this article if you haven’t added banking details while applying to the SASSA.

What Does SASSA’s Pending Status Mean?

The SASSA’s status pending means your application has been successfully submitted to the SASSA review team, but it is still under review. 

During this time, the SASSA team will check your documents, employment history, and banking details, and they will decide whether you are eligible or not.

Generally, the pending status lasts about one week, and you must wait. But you must contact the SASSA team if you still haven’t received any application information.

What If SASSA’s Status Check Failed?

If the SASSA Status check fails, the most chance is that you have submitted the wrong information. Recheck the information and match the ID number with your original one. 

Sometimes, it could indicate a technical issue while retrieving your data. Reach out to the SASSA toll-free helpline or visit the nearest SASSA office to inquire about the status of your application. 

You can also submit the SASSA status check appeal.

What Does Each Status Mean, Such As “Application Complete,” “Bank Details Pending,” “Reapplication Pending,” “Canceled,” Etc.?

Each status in the SASSA application has different means. Here are some states and their meanings.
