A 'Bank Details Pending' status means you did not attach your bank account details while applying for the SRD R370 grant. This status tells that your application is incomplete and will not be approved until you provide your bank details.
The 'Reapplication Pending' status means you've not submitted your application or reapplication as required by SASSA for the R350 (R370) grants.
A 'Pending' status shows your application is under review for the specified period. According to SASSA's policy, all applications are verified each month to know beneficiaries' financial situation. The agency may be confirming your records, which has resulted in the pending status.
An 'Approved' status means your grant has been accepted for the respective period. As SASSA reviews your application each month, this status is not permanent.
A 'Declined' status means your application for the stated period has been rejected. SASSA confirms your identity against your bank account records and other databases to make this decision.
The 'Cancelled' status refers to your application's call-off status. If you've ever cancelled your application due to improved economic conditions, this status will show up on your application.
Generally, SASSA reveals its decision about your application approval or rejection before the 15th of the next month. However, if your application status shows 'Pending', you can expect an update within a maximum of 90 days.
For a change in the 'Application Completed' status, you'll need to wait for the agency to confirm your records, whereas the 'Cancelled' status will only be updated after you apply for reinstatement.
