Reasons for SASSA Reapplication

Here’s a detailed guide on reasons why your SASSA application might be declined:

1. Identity Verification Failed: This means that the personal information you provided in your application doesn’t match the records held by the Department of Home Affairs. Double-check your details for accuracy.

2. Age Outside Range (>60): If you’re over 60 years old, your application may be declined as you don’t meet the age requirement during the reconsideration period.

3. Age Outside Range (<18): Similarly, if you’re under 18 years old, your application may be declined as you don’t meet the age requirement during the reconsideration period.

4. Alternative Income Source Identified: If your bank account balance during the reconsideration period was R624 or more, it suggests that you may have an alternative income source, which could lead to your application being declined.

5. UIF Registered: If you received payments from the Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) during the reconsideration period, your application may be declined as you’re already receiving financial assistance.

6. NSFAS Funds Received: Receiving financial aid from the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS) during the reconsideration period could result in your application being declined.

7. Other Social Grants Registered: If you applied for another SASSA grant during the reconsideration period, it may impact your eligibility for the SRD grant, leading to a decline in your application.

It’s important to be aware of these reasons and ensure that you meet the eligibility criteria before reapplying for the SASSA grant. If you have any questions or concerns about your eligibility, don’t hesitate to reach out to SASSA for clarification.
