South Africans who rely on the SASSA SRD R350 grant may be wondering why they haven’t received their monthly payment for April as we approach the end of the first quarter of 2023. A number of factors are affecting the grant’s processing and disbursement.
Reasons Why Your SASSA SRD R350 Grant April 2023 Is Not Showing
The first reason for the delay in the April 2023 SASSA SRD R350 grant is because of the extension of the grant by the government. In order to accommodate the extension of the grant, SASSA has had to upgrade and reconfigure their systems. As the new systems are being tested and implemented, processing and disbursement of the grant have been temporarily delayed.The SASSA is working hard to ensure that the upgrades are completed as quickly as possible, so that eligible applicants can receive their grants as soon as possible.
In addition, existing applicants may not need to reconfirm their applications in order to be considered for the extended grant. In order to determine eligibility for the extended grant, SASSA will use existing data. Applicants who have received the grant in the past will not have to reapply or confirm their applications.
There are no new eligibility criteria for the extended grant, which is the third reason for the delay. The old criteria still apply, so applicants who meet the eligibility requirements will receive the grant. Those who are unemployed, not receiving social grants or unemployment insurance benefits, and not receiving any other income are included in this category.
Finally, SASSA encourages all applicants to ensure that their personal information, especially their banking details, are accurate and up-to-date. The grant will be processed and disbursed faster, as well as the risk of fraud will be reduced.
The delay in SASSA’s April 2023 SRD R350 grant is due to the extension of the grant, the need to upgrade and reconfigure SASSA’s systems, and the use of existing data to determine eligibility. The SASSA is working hard to ensure that eligible applicants receive their grants as soon as possible. In order to avoid further delays, applicants should also ensure that their personal information is up-to-date and accurate.
