by The South African Social Security Agency, SASSA, has urged all those applicants who been declined for their Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grants to appeal.
However, if they fail to appeal that decision SASSA will not find funds to pay them.
It has been a very big challenge for some applicants to receive a hearing from officials os SASSA concerning their appeal progress.
Some of these applicants of the SRD of R350 grants have been declined for various reasons ranging from irp5 (employees tax certificate), Unemployment Insurance Fund (UIF) to SARS registered among others.
Some of these affected people do not seem to know where to turn to for assistance. Some people even claim that they have been unemployed for years and do not see the reason why their applications were rejected.
Meanwhile SASSA has asked all those applicants who have strong feelings that they were unduly declined to send their evidence in writing to the given email address.
Below is the SASSA statement found on their official Twitter Page :
SOCIAL RELIEF GRANT
The R350 SRD grant will continue to be paid for a further 3 months.
Anyone who’s declined,must lodge an appeal at the covid19srdappeals@sassa.gov.za site.
“Anyone who doesn’t lodge an appeal will NOT be reconsidered as we don’t have funds to reconsider every declined case.” #sassacares

There are still thousands of applicants who have been approved from May until November but still don’t have payment dates. The 0800 53 54 55 queries reveals no funds available. Why doesn’t SASSA sort them out first? This is beyond ridiculous.

I’ve repeatedly been declined because of an identity mismstch. How can I mismatch my own id from home affairs.
Have you done the corrections using the link below below https://srd.sassa.gov.za?
I’ve received my SRD last year for 6 months after that my status says decline due to UIF registration of which I’ve never applied for it because I’m unemployed and it’s been 4 years.
I applied in June last year but the system doesn’t recognize me but the status said nsfas registered my daughter used my cellphone number to apply
It has to do with your ID, have you ever applied nsfas?
If yes, please appeal and tell them you were not funded, you can use the receipt of your fees payment as an additional evidence.
If no still appeal
I was declined don’t know why
What is the exact reason for the decline?
mine is dicliened three months in a raw it say am registered to irp5
Please appeal using this email address : covid19srdappeals@sassa.gov.za
