The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) provides financial assistance to millions of South Africans through various grant programs.
However, sometimes beneficiaries may experience delays in receiving their payments despite having an approved SASSA status.
What if My SASSA Status is Approved but No Pay Date?
If your SASSA status is approved but you have not received a pay date, there could be several reasons for this delay.
Some of the common reasons include missing or outdated bank details, bank account issues, incorrect contact information, additional verification requirements, and system glitches.
How Many Days Does it Take for SASSA to Pay After Approval?
The payment processing time for SASSA grants can vary depending on several factors, including the type of grant, the payment method, and the accuracy of the beneficiary’s information.
Typically, payments are made within a few days after approval, but in some cases, it may take longer.
Can You Collect R350 if it Says Approved?
Yes, you may still be eligible to collect your R350 grant even if your SASSA status is approved but you have not received payment.
You can contact SASSA’s helpline to inquire about unpaid funds or submit a reconsideration request if your application was declined.
