Why You Should Use SASSA Reapplication Facility

These are the common reasons for application rejection, and you can reapply if you think all the criteria given below are being fulfilled.

• Wrong Identity Verification: if you think that you have submitted the wrong identity number while applying for the SASSA grant the very first time, then you should reapply without any hesitation.
• Age Limit Exceeded: SASSA doesn’t accept specific applications from people who are the age of above 60 years old, so if you think you have applied for the matching grant and still got rejected, you can consider reapplication.
• Other Income Sources: SASSA also doesn’t applicants who are receiving income from other healthy means, so if you have applied for SASSA and identified as a person receiving income from other sources and you are not actually, then definitely go for reapplication.
• Beneficiary of Other Funds: in case you’re receiving other funds from the state government of South Africa like UIF (Unemployed Insurance Funds) or NSFAS (National Student Financial Aid Scheme) then you will not get approval for any SASSA grant. If this isn’t the case, you can reapply for the SASSA grant accordingly.
• Other SASSA Grant Beneficiary: SASSA also rejects applicants or reapplicants who are already receiving benefits of any other SASSA grant, so if you haven’t received any SASSA benefits previously, you can proceed to the reapplication process.
• Non-National: If you are identified as non-national of South Africa in such case SASSA will also reject your application, so if you are a South African national and think you meet all the criteria, you can follow the reapplication steps. Keep in mind in some cases SASSA might ask you for additional authentications which you have to submit transparently.

After identifying the reason for rejection and going through all the processes for Sassa reapplication, you can use the SASSA status check facility by putting your details there, keep in mind that SASSA takes a few weeks or 30 days for a new query to update in their database.
