Following are all the reasons recorded for failed status on the basis of experience and research that can be the problem on your side, but keep in mind there is no hard and fast rule that your problem can be one of all these problems.

• Age isn’t fulfilling Criteria: your age might be noticed as not meeting the criteria, you might be not eligible for the grant you applied for, and your age might be higher or lower than the SASSA official age limit. So make this sure first.
• Noticed as Deceased Person: your ID card that you provided SASSA at the time of application might be identified as one of the deceased persons who isn’t present in this world or passed away. 
• You’re a Government Employee: please note that South Africans who are already government employees won’t be able to get any grant approval, this is one of the biggest policies of SASSA. So make sure if you are a government employee you will not receive any monetary benefits from SASSA.
• UIF Receiver: people who have applied and registered for UIF (Unemployment Insurance Funds) are not eligible to get any type of benefit from SASSA.
• NSFAS and Other Schemes: If you are a holder of NSFAS (National Student Aid Scheme) or any other student aid scheme in South Africa you will not be able to get an SASSA grant.
• Already SASSA Grant Holder: if you are identified by the SASSA team as already a SASSA grant holder and you are checking for the newly applied application status, in this case, you will surely get a status check failed error on your side. So be authentic and humble with SASSA in terms of receiving grants.

Some Other Reasons for SASSA Status Check Failed

• Other Income Sources: If SASSA has identified your other healthy income sources, your registered or approved application will be rejected straight away and you won’t be able to check the status which will cause a failed SASSA status on your side.
• Application Under Processing: if you are a new applicant and applied for any SASSA grant recently, your application might be in the verification process, meanwhile you won’t be able to check the status, it will ultimately show the failed result. If this is the case, make sure you wait for your application to further go in the process and database of SASSA.
• Incorrect Input Details: this is a very common reason, most people input wrong information in the Sassa status check box like their ID card number and registered phone number. This input information is sensitive, so make sure you don’t put any extra or wrong digits in place, otherwise, it will show a failed status check on your side.
• Try Later: this indicates that the SASSA system is busy assisting other applicants online who are beneficiaries or applicants of SASSA grants. In this case, you can wait for some time and try again later.
• Incomplete Details or Application: an incomplete application at the time of registration may cause a status check to fail. All applicants are encouraged to fill in all the details completely and carefully when submitting their application, and always cross-check before pressing the final submit button.
• Application Under Verification: sometimes to high workload on the SASSA team working at the backend may cause the status check to fail. It takes around 30 days for complete authentication and verification of your submitted application, so be patient in this situation, and check it after some days.
