SASSA Status Check Declined

To understand why your SASSA Status Check Declined, it is essential to understand the reasons behind the refusal of your R350 Grant or Social Grant application. You can review the following factors to ascertain the causes.

Alternative Income Source Identified

Your bank account balance exceeds R624, making you ineligible as per the established means test criteria. This amount has been increased by the SASSA national agency from the previous limit of R350.

Identity Verification Failed

Your personal information (national ID) does not match the details provided for the SASSA grant application details in the Department of Home Affairs records. This leads to SASSA Status Check Failed.

Already a SASSA Recipient

You were already a recipient of another SASSA grant during the reconsideration period, making you ineligible for a secondary grant unless you are a recipient of SASSA Grant-In-Aid.

NSFAS Registered

Your ID is registered with the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS). In this case, your application will be declined to allocate resources to other eligible applicants.

UIF Registered

You have received Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) benefits as a worker during the waiting period.

Government Employee

You are a Public Service Employee in a government institution and are entitled only to the Government Employees Pension Fund (GEPF), not SASSA benefits.

Age Outside the Range

You did not meet the age requirement during the approval period, either being older than 60 years or under 18 years old for an R350 grant, unless you are an old age grant applicant, or a Sassa children grant applicant.

Deceased Record in DHA

Your ID was found registered as deceased (dead person) in the Department of Home Affairs database during the SASSA verification period. If this happens your grant will be terminated permanently.
