Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Will I get paid for past months if I cancel my grant?
If you were approved for previous months but have not yet received payment, you should still be paid for those months. Cancelling your grant only stops you from being considered for future months.
What if I cancelled by mistake?
If you cancelled your SRD grant by mistake, you can reinstate it. Use the official “Reinstate my Application” link on the SASSA SRD website to make your application active again for the upcoming months.
How do I know if my cancellation was successful?
After completing the cancellation process, you can perform an SRD status check. Your status for future months should show as “Cancelled,” confirming that the process was successful.
Can I cancel my SRD grant without the phone number I applied with?
No, for security reasons, you must have access to the phone number you used to apply in order to receive the verification PIN. If you have lost that number, you must first follow the process to change your SRD phone number before you can cancel the grant.
Does cancelling the SRD grant affect my other SASSA grants?
No. Cancelling your temporary SRD grant has no effect on any other permanent SASSA grants you may be receiving, such as a Child Support Grant or Older Person’s Grant.
