Approval and payment are two different steps. When your SRD month is approved, SASSA still has to schedule the payment. You can only collect, or see the money in your account, from the pay date shown on your status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The order things happen in<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. The month is assessed and marked approved.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. SASSA adds a pay date, usually later in the month.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. On the pay date, money is sent to your bank or made available for cash collection.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. You withdraw or collect it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
