What Does “Pending” Mean?

If your July status says Pending, it means your application is still being processed. SASSA is verifying your:

  • ID and citizenship
  • Income status (using banks and government databases)
  • UIF, NSFAS, and SARS activity

This process can take several days. You do not need to reapply if your application was already approved in earlier months.

What If You’ve Been Approved But Not Paid?

If your July status says Approved but there is no payment date, it means SASSA has not yet released the payment to your bank.

Here’s what you can do:

  • Double-check your bank details on the SRD website
  • Wait for the payment date to appear under your July status
  • If no date appears within 7–10 days, call the SASSA helpline at 0800 60 10 11

Waiting for July Payment via Bank?

SASSA pays approved beneficiaries in batches. If you’re using a bank account, make sure:

  • Your bank account is active and in your name
  • There are no issues with ID mismatches or bank verification failures

Delays may also happen with TymeBank, Capitec, or other digital banks due to system verification.

How to Contact SASSA

Tip: No Need to Collect Immediately

Your SRD funds remain in your bank account or Postbank card. There’s no need to queue immediately — wait for a quieter day to collect.
