Approved
Your application was successful. This means that you qualify for SASSA grant and your payment will be processed soon. Now you can check your payment date and confirm your banking details to avoid delay. -
Pending
Your application is still subject to review by SASSA. There is no need to apply again until the situation changes. Check back regularly, as approval in batches is updated on the basis of verification. -
