SASSA SRD R370 Reapplication Pending Status
The “Reapplication Pending” status (🔄) on your SRD R370 grant usually means you need to apply again for the current grant period. This can happen when a previous grant period has ended, or if your earlier application was not fully completed or received by SASSA.
What Does “Reapplication Pending” for the SRD R370 Grant Imply?
If your SRD R370 grant status shows “Reapplication Pending”, it is an important message from SASSA. It means your previous application or grant period has probably ended, or your last application was not successfully submitted or recorded in the system. Because of this, SASSA needs you to apply again for the current or next grant period.
This status does not mean your application was rejected. It is simply a reminder for you to take action so that SASSA has an active application from you for the period you want to receive the grant. Right now, SASSA does not have a current application from you under review.
Primary Reasons for Encountering a “Reapplication Pending” Status
There are several reasons why your SRD R370 grant shows the “Reapplication Pending” status.
- End of Grant Cycle / Extension Period: The SRD grant has often been implemented for fixed periods. If a specific grant cycle or legislative extension period has ended, all previous approvals may lapse, requiring everyone who wishes to continue receiving the grant (if it’s extended or re-introduced) to reapply.
- Failure to Reconfirm Application: During certain periods, SASSA has required existing beneficiaries to reconfirm their need for the grant or to update their details. Failure to do so within the stipulated timeframe could revert your status to “Reapplication Pending.”
- Incomplete Initial Application: Your initial application might not have been fully completed or submitted successfully due to a technical glitch, an interruption during the online process, or missing critical information, thus never being fully “lodged” with SASSA.
- System Purge or Update: SASSA might periodically update its systems or criteria, requiring a fresh application from individuals to ensure current eligibility and information.
- You Cancelled a Previous Application: If you had previously cancelled your SRD grant and now wish to receive it again, you would need to reapply.
- Application Submitted After a Cut-off Date: If applications for a specific cycle had a deadline and you attempted to apply afterwards, your attempt might not be processed, leading to a need to reapply for the next open cycle.
Checking your SRD R370 status regularly can help you see this status early.
Necessary Steps When Faced with “Reapplication Pending”
When your SRD R370 status shows “Reapplication Pending”, it means you need to apply again for the grant.
- Go to the official SASSA SRD website: Applications and reapplications are done online at srd.sassa.gov.za.
- Find the Apply or Reapply link: Look for a button that says “Apply Online” or “Reapply for SRD Grant.”
- Enter your ID number: Use your valid 13‑digit South African ID number.
- Fill in personal and contact details: Enter your name, surname, phone number (make sure it is active and registered in your name), and home address.
- Add banking details (or choose cash payment): Provide your own bank account details (the account must be in your name), or choose a cash payment option if you do not have a bank account. Make sure all details are correct.
- Answer screening questions: Answer questions about your income, money, and any other grants you may receive. Answer honestly.
- Give consent and declare: Agree that SASSA can check your information and confirm that all details you gave are true.
- Submit the application: Check everything carefully, then submit.
- Check your status: After reapplying, your status will usually show “Pending” while SASSA processes it. Check your status again after a few days to make sure your application was received.
Do not think that because you received the grant before, you will get it again automatically if this status appears. You must apply again, because each application is checked using the current rules and your situation at the time of applying.
“Reapplication Pending” SRD R370 Status: Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. This status usually means SASSA does not have an approved application for you for the current period. Because of this, payments will stop until you reapply and your new application is approved.
You should reapply as soon as possible after you see this status and confirm that SRD applications are open. Waiting too long will delay the processing of your application and any possible payment.
SASSA may still have your old information, but when you reapply, you usually need to enter all your details again. This helps SASSA make sure they have your latest and correct information, including your contact details, bank details, and answers about your current situation.
If the official SASSA SRD website shows that applications are closed, you will need to wait until SASSA opens applications again. Keep checking the official SASSA website and trusted news sources for updates on when applications will reopen.
After you reapply successfully, your status will usually change to “Pending.” This means SASSA has received your new application and is busy checking and processing your information. You can check your status again after a few days or weeks.
You must always use your correct South African ID number. For other details, such as your phone number or bank information, make sure you give current and correct details. You do not create a new profile with a username or password for the SRD grant because the system uses your ID number. The most important thing is to give up‑to‑date and honest information every time you apply or reapply.
