March 2025 SASSA R370 Payment Dates

The Social Relief of Distress (SRD) Grant is a financial support program in South Africa designed for unemployed individuals with no other source of income. The grant provides R370 per month to millions of beneficiaries. If you receive this grant, you may be wondering about the reasons for pending payments, expected payment dates for March, and how to check your status.

Common Reasons for Pending SASSA R370 Payments

If your SRD grant payment is still pending, it could be due to one of the following reasons:

• Verification Process Not Completed: SASSA conducts monthly verification checks, which may delay payments.
• Banking Details Pending or Incorrect: If your banking details are missing or incorrect, your payment cannot be processed.
• Alternative Income Identified: If SASSA detects deposits into your account above the allowable limit, your application may be pending for review.
• Reapplication Not Submitted: Beneficiaries must reconfirm their applications every few months to continue receiving the grant.
• Fraud or Duplicate Application Flags: If there is suspicion of fraud or a duplicate application, the payment may be delayed until verification is complete.
