R370 Sassa Grant Application Verification
It's important to understand the R370 grant application verification process before appealing your SRD grant application rejection.
To qualify for the SRD grant in South Africa, applicants must meet the eligibility criteria.
They need to be South African citizens, residents, or special permit holders, but they shouldn't be receiving other government support in the form of UIF benefits or NSFAS bursaries. Their bank account should have less than R624 to be eligible for the SRD grant.
Sassa conducts verification checks in collaboration with the Department of Home Affairs for identity and citizenship checks and shares bank details with the Department of Treasury for income verification.
Once Sassa completes these verification checks, Sassa will deliver an SRD grant application decision.
Only if you feel that a mistake has been made in this verification process from Sassa then it is advised that you submit an appeal application to the ITSAA.
