Reasons for SASSA Status Pending

You only have to worry about this situation if this message is constantly being shown on your screen for a long otherwise it will vanish. Here are some common reasons due to which pending status can happen to you.

• Fresh Application: If you just performed the SASSA online application from your computer or mobile phone and checked your SASSA status immediately, it means your application is very fresh and hasn’t yet reached the SASSA team. In this situation, keep waiting; it will sort itself.
• Unclear Grant: While applying for any SASSA grant, like the Child Support grant, if you haven’t chosen any specific grant for yourself or the grant to which you meet the criteria, then you might see a pending status on your side.
• Unclear/Wrong Banking Details: If you’ve provided the wrong banking details in your application or left the field blank, you will face a pending status. To solve this, you can change banking details immediately and update your SASSA application.
• Other Monetary Funds: If SASSA finds your details from any other monetary funds schemes, it can show a pending status to you without any prior notice.
• Healthy Income Identified: most probably this will not give a status pending error, but sometimes SASSA takes time to notify of the rejection and shows a pending status until.

These are the only very common reasons seen due to which SASSA says it is pending for you. Try to avoid such mistakes.

Please note that these messages don’t mean you’re rejected forever or can’t try applying further, these are just problem highlighters to make you aware of the reason to improve next time.

Compulsory Requirements for Successful Approval

The following conditions and requirements must be fulfilled in order to get successful approval for your application.

• You must be fulfilling the criteria for the specific SASSA grant you are applying for.
