Fix SASSA Approved with Payday But No SMS

In a typical situation, SASSA applicants receive two SMS notifications once their grant application is approved by SASSA.

1. The first SMS informs you whether your application has been approved, is pending, or has been declined for the month.
2. The second SMS notification directs you to either visit a Post Office or directly receive your grant money in your bank (Capitec or Standard Bank) to collect your monthly payment.

However, often the issue could be related to either a problem on your bank’s side or SASSA’s funding allocation, which can usually be resolved through communication with the customer support centre. Here’s what you can do:

1. Start by contacting your bank to inquire about any system problems or account issues that might be causing the delay in receiving the approved grant SMS for payment collection.
2. If the issue persists or your bank confirms that everything is fine on their end, then contact the SASSA helpline to consult further about the issue of not receiving the approved grant SMS for payment collection.

After following these steps, your issue should be resolved. If not, you will be provided with a reason for the problem. Many times, applicants may have changed their cell phone numbers or lost access to their registered numbers, resulting in the inability to receive SMS notifications. In such cases, you can resolve this with the ‘SASSA Change Phone Number‘ process.

To avoid this problem in future, make sure your cell phone number is correctly linked with your SASSA application. If your grant is approved, but you haven’t received any SMS notifications, ensure your registered cell phone number for Sassa application is accurate and up-to-date.

SASSA Notice

It’s crucial to highlight that you must receive SASSA SMS notifications for each monthly grant to be eligible to collect your grant payments. Without these SMS notifications, even if your SASSA grant is approved, you may be unable to collect your payment at the Post Office, Cash Send, Pick n Pay, or Boxer retail stores.
