What about reconsideration people the story about appeals a person never hear its allways a train smash… It’s been on pending since August and up till now we never received a answer……….
We are tired shame,some people still didnt get their money because they where declined due to UIF registered outcome and they are not getting any money from UIF.Just resolve that UIF issues for those people so that they can get their money.
The system allows all rich to be richer they don’t care about poor people they promise every day they never fulfill
I don’t think we gonna get April and May grant these people are playing with us delaying and wasting our time guys we are on our own in this country
Hi.
April is still pending, no May has been shown???
Do we get all our money? Or is the old beneficiaries just forgotten about???
What does she say about pending from April, no may, but we dd reapply
Good morning all, this, promises made by social services each and every day they post new promises, to delay the process of the payment to the people, brings even more and more hardship to our people, Please SASSA rather keep quiet, this promises that you render every day to us brings more hardship
How about those who their application keeps declined while there are not working ……since lastyear i didn’t received anything and i made appeals yoh i really don’t know shem it’s hard for me now
Go try to collect it at retailer stores such as boxer,shoprite,checkers,ect
can i go an fetch my March money at any retail store now
Good day
To whom it may concern
the retail stores are not willing to give the beneficiaries the money they give them endless excuses so question is why innovative something which it not helping our people we have neighbours who didn’t get their monies from January till march and when they went to post office their told.theu should go to the retail stores such as pick n pay boxer and ShopRite but when they get there all they get it bad attitude being treated as if they choose to be unemployed so, can the minister change the pay point because others don’t have bank accounts can’t the old system be brought back where sassa use to pay people in the community halls can this be used for our people until this retail issue being resolved thank you hope this will find space in your heart’s
These ministers are just making it harder for the people to apply for the srd grant, why only the ministers can answer that question. They want people to get their grant through banks what about the bank charges and all the cost the bank charges people will end up with less money. Wake up ministers wake up quickly.
Since April i haven’t received R350, so i could like to know i will receive R350 as from April or what?
Hi would just like to know about our uncollected srd grands still from the first cycle, I’d got lost was struggling to get new one, but now post office don’t do pay outs , so how to collect that money now is it still available, I have 4 months uncollected from the 1st cycle
How many months must I finish after getting uif so that I can apply 350 srd grant? For now I am no longer receiving uif money and now I am have 6 months but I do apply it says uif registered.i did appeal still the same. What must I do?
I have 1 year uncollected R350 since i register sassa
Some of us are still on pending but is not working and its going for the 3rd month now we realy need that 350 every bid help. And now still we are on pending wondering are we getting our pay out for april and may and June coming. Becose as i understand it we have to regester every 3 months. That is in July again. We realy need to know whats going on please.
So what about those months we did not receive 350 ?
We are struggling to link our payment options with the retail stores like pick n pay, boxer or shoprite.
Please please can sassa explain in detail as to how to update the payment option to be able to collect at Retailers
What about peoples status stating pending when will that be addressed
Hi my name is pretty lehutjo my April status is still stating pending now we on May what will happen on June am I going to get srd 350 or what because I am unemployed. Please help.
How do you give people options that give them no option other than to say they have an income from either family or friends when the truth is they dont leaving them to choose one of the options saying they have financial support.And even if at some point they do have some form of family or friend support one month or two does not mean its an ongoing thing or a repeat cycle
I also want to now??
Mine still pending since April and till now!
Will we get the money combined with these past months we have been waiting for?
It’s sad how the minister of sassa is fooling around with this 350 the people don’t get work and now this it’s because they don’t live the hard life where there is nothing to eat and yet they fool around with this monies please give the people what is due to them stop stealing the money and give it to the poor
My question is how do you expect the following answers on the application for. While we don’t have.
Life partner or husband #you are single
2 Identity of parents # deceased
3. On other side you were raised by a single parents
4. That’s my concern because it seems people won’t be able to get this grant
You have to skip the life partner and parents part, they are not compulsory.
Why so many changes for for people who are struggling?People are hungry,suffering,very,very poor you guys don’t fucken care a damn about that wait and see what you are brewing what happened last time will be sooooo,so severe mark my words.Does what you are doing prove that there was no Corona at all neh?It was just a mere thankful of their votes you really don’t care.
That’s what i am asking myself that because some of us our beloved mothers left this world long time ago, and some our so called Father’s ran away before we were born so how do they expect us to fill-in their identity numbers where are we supposed to get them
