Why Was My SASSA Status Rejected?
Your SASSA application could be rejected for several reasons, such as:
- Income or Assets Too High – If your financial status exceeds the set threshold for the grant you’re applying for, your application might be denied.
- Incomplete or Incorrect Information – Missing documents or errors in personal details can lead to rejection.
- Duplicate Application – If you’ve applied for the same grant more than once, it could be flagged and rejected.
- Eligibility Issues – In cases where you don’t meet the requirements (like residency or age), your application may be rejected.
- Existing Grant – If you’re already receiving another grant, you may not be eligible for another one.
