What Your Status Means

Once you submit your details, you will see one of the following results for the current month:

  • Approved: Your application was successful. Check the “Pay Date” field; if it shows a date, that is when your money should be available. If there is no date yet, your payment is still being processed.

  • Pending: SASSA is still verifying your details for the month. Check back in a few days.

  • Declined: Your application was rejected for a specific reason (e.g., “Alternative Income Source Identified”). You have the right to lodge an appeal on the same website if you believe this is an error.

  • Bank Details Pending: You are approved, but SASSA does not have your banking information. You must upload your details on the portal to receive payment.

May 2026 Payment Information

  • SRD R370 Payment Window: While other social grants (Old Age, Disability, etc.) are being paid between May 5 and May 7, the SRD R370 grant typically has its own processing window toward the end of the month.

  • Important Note: SASSA reminds beneficiaries that “Approved” does not mean immediate payment; always wait for the specific Pay Date to appear in your status check before expecting the funds in your account.

“Never share your South African ID number or banking PIN with unofficial websites. Only use the official .gov.za portals.”

Why is my SASSA status still “Pending”?
“Pending” means SASSA is verifying your details against government databases (UIF, NSFAS, etc.). This usually takes up to 30 days.
How do I change my R370 banking details?
Visit the official SRD website, enter your ID, and request a secure link via SMS. Note: The bank account must be in your name.
What if my application was “Declined”?
You have 90 days to lodge an appeal at the ITSAA portal (srd.dsd.gov.za). You must appeal for every month you were declined.
What does the “Identity Verification Failed” status mean?

This usually means the names or ID number you entered do not exactly match the records at the Department of Home Affairs.
Fix: Log back into the portal and ensure your name is spelled exactly as it appears on your Green ID book or Smart ID card.

Can I receive the R370 grant if I get the Child Support Grant?

Yes. You are allowed to receive the SRD R370 grant even if you are receiving the Child Support Grant on behalf of your children. However, you cannot receive it if you are receiving a Disability or Old Age grant for yourself.
