An “approved” SRD month means you qualified, but the money only moves once SASSA sets a pay date and your payment details are valid. Most “approved but not paid” cases come down to one of the reasons below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Update your details on srd.sassa.gov.za<\/a>. Our guide to the SRD banking details link<\/a> walks through it. After a change, the new details are verified before the next payment, which can delay that payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you do not have a suitable account, most banks offer basic transactional accounts that can be opened with just an ID, or you can choose cash collection at a retailer instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the pay date passed more than a week ago and your details are correct, call 0800 60 10 11<\/strong> with your ID number and the month concerned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually within one or two working days, depending on your bank.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n No. The SRD grant is only paid into a bank account registered in the applicant’s own name.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" An “approved” SRD month means you qualified, but the
