Keeping track of your Sassa status for a grant is an important part of ensuring that you’re receiving the financial support to which you’re entitled. With the right information, it’s easy to avoid common issues that might impede the processing of your application. Keeping your details up-to-date and double-checking your applications will help to ensure that your application is processed quickly and accurately.
Verification in Progress
In order to verify the identity of applicants, SASSA must send documents to other government departments to double-check them. This process can take up to 90 days to complete. The good news is that you can see the status of your application at any point during this period.
Referred Status
If your application has been given a “preferred” status, it means that the application needs more information in order to be processed. This may include a medical assessment or cross-checking with other departments. It can also be caused by an inconsistency, such as a mismatched name or ID number.
Rejected Status
SASSA’s guidelines are strict and there are many reasons why an application might be rejected, including ineligibility or over-income thresholds. It is possible to appeal the decision, but it will require a substantial amount of documentation and patience. It is best to check the status of your application regularly and contact SASSA if you have any questions or concerns. They can be reached through their offices, email, and online portal. They can also assist you with submitting the necessary documents for an appeal.
