When someone’s SASSA appeal status is marked as “failed,” it typically means an issue or problem with their application for a social grant.

Individuals in this situation need to contact SASSA or visit their local office to understand why their application failed and what steps they can take to rectify the issue.

This article will discuss the reasons for and solutions to SASSA appeal status check failure. So you are recommended to read the article thoroughly.

Possible reasons for SASSA Appeal status failure:

Here are a few possible reasons that may cause your application to fail:

  1. Technical Error
  2. Incomplete or Wrong Information
  3. Failed Identity Confirmation

Technical error may be the reason for your status failing. This error occurs due to a glitch on SASSA’s official website. SASSA may be doing scheduled website maintenance, or there may be a fault with the server. These could be the reasons for your SASSA failed status.

You have to check that the information you provided is all correct. Once you are sure that the information you provided is correct, you wait a few hours(suggested 8 to 12 hours) and again check the application status.

The issue will be resolved automatically if there is a server or technical error with the website; otherwise, you must appeal to reconsider your application.

When your SASSA Appeal status displays “Identity Verification Failed,” it means there were inaccuracies in the information provided during your application. This could be due to simple errors like misspelt words or incorrect details. SASSA requires precise information such as your name, ID number, and relevant documents specific to the type of grant you’re applying for. They cross-check this data with government databases and financial institutions to confirm your identity. However, even minor mistakes, such as entering an incorrect ID number, can disrupt this verification process, resulting in the denial of your application.

Ensuring accuracy in your application details is crucial to prevent delays or rejections when accessing vital government services or grants. By thoroughly reviewing and double-checking the information you provide before submission, you can minimize the risk of encountering issues during the verification process. These precautionary steps help streamline the application process and increase the likelihood of a successful outcome.
