Explanation of SASSA Status Check Responses

Are you confused about the jargon of SASSA statuses? No need to worry anymore. Let’s decode all the SASSA status check responses and see what are the meanings of these statuses.

Identity Verification Failed (SASSA Status Check Failed):

Identity Verification Failed is the status where the South African Social Security Agency wants to inform you that your SRD grant application is suspended due to your identity issues. It could be your invalid ID documents or incorrect details on your ID card.

Self Exclusion Response Found:

The SASSA SRD grant has proper eligibility criteria and one of them is to earn less than R624 per month. This reason violates the eligibility for the grant approval.

Pending Status:

One of the most common SASSA status codes is “SASSA Status Pending”. This status check response shows that the application status is pending until it gets approved. Right after submitting your application, this is the SASSA SRD status you will see when you check your status.

Application Declined:

Your status is marked as declined. This simply means, you need to check whether you are complying with the grant terms and conditions or not. If this happens due to a mistake or error, then you have the right to appeal this decision to the Department of Social Development (DSD).

R370 Payment Approved:

You need to be happy here as your grant status has been approved. Now, you need to check your payment date to receive the grant payment.

Bank Details Pending:

SASSA has approved your application but you need to add the bank account information. You can choose other payment methods as well if you don’t have an active bank account.

Reapplication Pending:

SRD grant has a system called “Reapplication”. The term means that all the beneficiaries have to submit a new grant application once in 3 months. So if your 90 days are completed, you need to submit the reapplication which is pending for now.

Referred Status:

In this phase, 90% to 95% of your application is approved, and SASSA only needs to apply some final verifications.

Means Income Source Identified:

Income Source Identified means that the South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) has found your monthly income is above R624 and you have some assets that are above the threshold limit. You will be rejected for SRD payment.

UIF Registered

“UIF Registered” means that a person is registered with the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) in South Africa.

  • If you see “UIF Registered” on your SASSA application, it usually means:
  • You or your employer have paid into the UIF.
  • SASSA thinks you may be getting money from UIF.
  • This could affect your SASSA SRD Grant application, because people who get UIF are not eligible for the grant.

Form Reference Number Not Found

If you see “Form Reference Number Not Found”, it means SASSA cannot find your application in the system. Here are some possible reasons:

  • You did not complete the SRD application.
  • You entered the wrong phone number or ID number.
  • There was a technical error during submission.

Why Does My SRD R370 Application Status is Declined?

Facing a declined or failed application status is painful and anxious. The 370 Rand payment is a need for all unemployed citizens. However, when you face disapproval, you should know the reasons behind it so you can appeal.

Here are some of the most common reasons that cause a SASSA status decline.

  • Alternative Income Identified: If SASSA detects that you have another source of income exceeding the threshold, your application may be declined.
  • Existing Support from Government: Receiving other government grants (e.g., NSFAS, UIF) may disqualify you from the R370 SRD grant.
  • Incorrect Personal Information: Any mismatch in your ID number and phone number, or banking details can lead to application failure.
  • Unemployment Status Not Verified: If SASSA cannot confirm that you are unemployed, your application may be rejected.
  • Reconsideration Time Expired: If you miss the deadline to appeal a declined application, your request will not be processed.

What Kind of Unemployment Status Makes Your Eligible for SASSA Payment?

To be eligible for the SASSA grant, your unemployment status must be due to reasons beyond your control.

Lost a Job:

This includes individuals who lost their jobs through no fault of their own, such as retrenchments, company closures, or economic downturns. If you were laid off due to financial difficulties faced by your employer, you qualify since your unemployment was involuntary.

Unemployment Due to the Effects of COVID-19:

Another qualifying factor is unemployment due to the effects of COVID-19. Many businesses shut down or reduced their workforce during the pandemic, leaving workers jobless. If you lost your job or source of income because of these circumstances, you may be eligible for the grant.

Lack of Job Opportunities:

Unemployment due to a lack of job opportunities also qualifies. Some regions or industries suffer from high unemployment rates, making it difficult for individuals to secure stable jobs. If you have been actively seeking work but are unable to find employment, you meet the criteria for the grant.

Company Downsizing:

Another type is unemployment due to company downsizing or restructuring makes you eligible. Businesses often reduce staff to cut costs, leaving employees without work. If you were affected by such a situation, where your job was eliminated and you had no alternative, you may qualify for the SASSA grant.
