SASSA SRD R370 pending status — what it means
A SASSA SRD R370 pending status means your application for that month is still being verified. It is neither an approval nor a decline. SASSA reassesses each SRD applicant every month against several government databases, which is why a status can change from one cycle to the next.
Why your status is pending
Each month SASSA checks your details against records held by the Department of Home Affairs, the South African Revenue Service, the Unemployment Insurance Fund and the National Student Financial Aid Scheme, as well as bank account data. While these checks are running, your status remains pending.
What to do
- Wait. Most pending statuses clear within a few days to a few weeks.
- Do not submit a new SRD application while one is already pending.
- Make sure your registered cellphone number is still in use, since SASSA sends updates by SMS.
- Check the SRD portal regularly at srd.sassa.gov.za.
When to follow up
If your status has been pending for several weeks with no movement, contact SASSA on the toll-free line 0800 60 10 11 or via WhatsApp on 082 046 8553 with your ID number ready. For the latest official guidance, visit www.sassa.gov.za.
