After the beneficiary has successfully withdrawn the funds, the Payment Status may change to “Payment Completed.” Beneficiaries can check their Payment Status through the SASSA SRD website.
Delays in R350 payments can occur due to various reasons, such as administrative issues, verification processes, banking details discrepancies, or high volumes of applications.
