Most new applicants of R350 grants face this issue which causes a delay in getting the grant payment date. Don’t worry! You can easily solve this issue in just a few steps.
In this article, I will explain the major reasons that cause a delay in payment dates. Furthermore, I will provide the solutions for those whose R350 grant has been approved but still waiting for the payment dates. So, let’s get started!
Common Reasons for Not Getting Any Payment Dates
There could be several reasons for not receiving any payment dates. It is important to recognize the issue first to find a solution. These are five detailed reasons for not getting any payment dates:
Incorrect Banking Details
It could be caused if you have provided the incorrect banking details. When applying for the grant, if you have provided the wrong banking details, it will cause a delay in receiving any payment dates. You need to provide accurate banking details to SASSA to avoid any issues with your payments.
System Overloads
This is the most common reason for not getting any payment dates. This issue might happen when SASSA receives a large number of applications at once. As SASSA is already handling millions of R350 beneficiaries, a large number of applications causes a heavy load on the SASSA system. Then, SASSA requires more time to display your payment dates.
Administrative Issue
If there is some error occurring on the SASSA’s end, then it will lead to a delay in displaying your payment dates on the SASSA website. These errors may include errors in data entry, system errors, and technical glitches. Or, maybe there is some glitch in the database. Don’t worry! SASSA will quickly fix these issues.
Exceeding the SASSA Bank Threshold
The mean test criteria for R350 beneficiaries is R624 monthly. If you are receiving more than R624 monthly in your bank account then it will result in no payment dates.
Fraudulent Activity
If SASSA detects any fraudulent activity then they will cancel your application. SASSA has been taking initiatives against these fraudulent activities. Please be fair, as SASSA does not give a second chance in case of any scam or fraud.
