When Will SASSA Complete Bank Verifications For R350 Grant?

Not everybody who has applied for the SRD grant has received their money. This may be because SASSA is still verifying your application.
Bank verifications are undertaken to ensure that people are not receiving additional relief or have an alternative income. You are not allowed to receive additional income to qualify for the R350 SRD grant.
SASSA said, ‘the process of bank verification does not have a set timeframe. The applicant's details go to the department of Treasury; to the specific bank chosen by the applicant and when it is verified it then goes back to Treasury and lastly handed over to SASSA for payment purposes’.
Here are the steps SASSA takes to determine whether or not you qualify for the R350 SRD grant:
Step 1 - The information you provide to SASSA is validated by the Department of Home Affairs. This information includes your ID number, name and surname.
Step 2 - Your ID number is then matched against various databases. These databases include the South African Revenue Services (SARS), Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) and National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS)
Step 4 - Your ID number and mobile number is then put through a Fraud Risk Scoring process.
Step 5 - Once these steps are completed, SASSA will decide if your SRD grant application is successful or unsuccessful.
