What to do if R350 grant is still pending? How to Fix a Pending R350 Grant Application

Are you waiting for your R350 grant payment, only to find that it’s still pending? It’s natural to feel concerned or uncertain about the status of your application. If your grant application has been pending for an extended period, it is important to take action and look into the cause of the delay.

The Social Relief of Distress Grant provides temporary financial assistance to eligible individuals in South Africa. In this post, we will look at a step-by-step guide on what to do if your R350 grant application is still pending, helping you explore the situation and seek a resolution.

Why does the SRD grant take so long to get approved

A “Pending” application means that your application has not yet been approved. In this instance, SASSA is still in the process of scanning your details so that they can be verified. There is nothing you need to do, just be patient while SASSA conducts its checks.

Action To Take When the R350 Grant is Still Pending

If your R350 grant is still pending, it is better to go to the nearest SASSA office and contact a representative. You can also call them or contact them via WhatsApp but visiting in person is better as call agents don’t have much control over your application.

However, there is no fixed date for the Special Covid-19 R350 SRD grant to be paid. According to the recent update, it is to be noted that the application can also go pending if there is a lack of funds. In such a case, there is nothing much to do from your side apart from waiting. You can keep checking your Sassa status to keep yourself updated on the situation.
