Referred sassa gov za – Referred status for SASSA SRD R350 2024

One of the decline status of the SRD R350 grants that most applicants seems not to be much aware is “referred“ in 2024.

Now, according to official report from SASSA those with that decline status are usually due to some irregularities.

Why Referred Status for SASSA SRD R350 grant 2024.

Some of the applicants are picked at random to assess their criminal history or any fraudulent activities.

If their ID number or phone number is found to be in the security database for any offense or illegal activities, then the applicant is declined as referred.

And it is one of those declined reasons, the applicant cannot appeal.

Unlike the other decline reasons such as UIF registered, nsfas registered, alternative income source, etc, which can be appealed or reconsidered, referred status can only be lodged at the SASSA.

It has however be noted that, SASSA is no way saying that, the person in question is a confirmed criminal or fraudster but it is a suspicion.

It requires that further investigation has to be conducted on the supposed activity before the application process can proceed further.

For those who are declined for referred status, are entreated to send an email to [email protected]. When the email is sent, sassa will refer to the appropriate agency to provide further investigation and report back to SASSA.

For now, we have not seen any applicant who is in that situation and his situation overturned or resolved.

Comparatively, the number of applicants who fall in that category is less compared to total number of SRD applicants.

Call on SASSA and DSD to intervene

SASSA has been very slow on those who have been declined with this status and most of them have complained bitterly why they are treated this way.

We, through this article, call on the SASSA and the Department of Social Development minister Lindiwe Zulu to help address this issue in this difficult moments of fellow South Africans.

You should as well try to see if you can apply for reconsideration or appeal.
