Reasons Your SASSA Application May Be Declined
SASSA follows strict screening using data from Home Affairs, banks, UIF, and NSFAS. Here are the most common rejection reasons:
• Identity Verification Failed
Your ID and name didn’t match the Department of Home Affairs database.
• Age Requirement Not Met
Applicants must be between 18 and 60 years old.
• Bank Balance Exceeds Threshold
If you have R624 or more in your bank account during the assessment, you are flagged for having an alternative income source.
• UIF Registered
If you receive Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) payments, you are not eligible for the SRD grant.
• Receiving NSFAS
Active NSFAS beneficiaries cannot apply.
• Already Getting Another Grant
You cannot receive both the SRD R370 and another SASSA social grant, except for the child support grant (in some cases).
