Sassa Status Check

The South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) provides various forms of social grants to eligible South African citizens. Beneficiaries are required to regularly check and update their banking details on the SASSA website to ensure that payments are received without any issues.

It is important to have accurate banking information on file with SASSA, as this is the method by which payments are made. Payments may be delayed or even stopped if your banking details are incorrect.

By regularly checking your banking details on the SASSA website, you can ensure that everything is up-to-date and avoid any payment-related issues.

What to do if your application status for the Sassa Special Relief of Distress (SRD) grant is stuck on ‘bank details pending.’

When checking your Sassa status and you found out that your application status is stuck on ‘bank details pending, it means Sassa has received your application but has not submitted your banking details or indicated your preferred payment method.
