The application process outlined here is applicable to all SASSA social grants and SRD grants, including the R350 grants. You have the option to reapply for any social grant administered by SASSA using this method.

If your application for SASSA R350, SRD grants, or any other South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) social grants is cancelled, you have the opportunity to reapply. It is important to follow all the necessary steps correctly in order to increase your chances of approval.

Check SASSA Reapplication Status Online

Once you’ve resubmitted your application for a denied Sassa grant, you can now monitor the status of your reapplication. Simply visit the SASSA Status Check website to determine whether your grant has been approved or declined.

The process for checking your Sassa Reapplication Status follows the same steps as other Sassa grant applications. After submitting your application, you will need to wait for 90 days for Sassa to verify and approve it with a reconsideration. If your application status does not show as pending during the 60-day period, you can appeal R350 Grant to address any application problems and expedite the reinstatement process with the national agency and DSD.
