Introduction : Alternative Income Source Identified status declined
For thousands of applicants since Friday checking their SRD R350 status only to find out that they are declined in 2023.
And what was the reason for the decline? “Alternative Income Source Identified”
Indeed, this is not new as far as this approval stuff from SRD R350 Grant payments is concerned.
Last year, there was a mass decline of applicants with this flimsy excuse that such affected applicants were receiving cash through their bank account. Basically, there were regular cash flows through their bank account.
Why SASSA Decline SRD R350 Grant as Alternative Income Source Identified
Some might be wondering how SASSA came up with this idea of identifying applicants as having alternative income sources?
From our checks, SASSA seems to use the applicant’s bank account balance and the bank statements showing the transactions going through the bank account.
If they find out that, applicants have been receiving some funds regularly in recent weeks or months, they would suspect the applicant has some form of sustenance.
Why are we saying this? A Twitter user once asked SASSA a question regarding this and below is the response SASSA gave.
The Twitter user asked :
An application can be rejected just because money was deposited in an applicant’s account?
And this was SASSA Response :
R595 is the threshold we test against during the reconsideration process. The grant is meant for the distressed clients, that have no other source of income.
SASSA response
From the above conversation, it is clear SASSA is conducting bank account checks of applicants.
So if you have submitted your application and Bank account or declined for an alternative source of income, then you need to stop putting cash into the bank account or asking someone else to send your money through that account as that is the only way for SASSA to know if you are receiving some form of income.
Bank accounts must be empty or below their R595 threshold balance to save yourself from these problems.

Same here was decline for having a bank account which child support goes into.we were told by gov that those that collect a child support will be able to collect the srd coz we have no source of income.the bank account is on my name because i collect a childsupport and nothing else in my account. Sad very sad hope a review will happen.

Sassa stop playing with us plss, u saying u are checking, how come u declined us since last year saying we receiving uif? If truly truly doing thoroughly investigation most of us we do qualify bcs sum we didn’t even know that we arw registered for uif, ppl who get the money are not supose to, and those who don’t get are the one suffering, plss tell is how do we fix this uif issue than busy declining us give us solution thank u
I feel your pain, this is has gone on for to long where I have started to resent speaking to people that have received their grant money, not that I hate them but I want to know why they are deserving and I am not. 😂
Sassa is causing people who have been declined like this to really resent the Government.
I pray you find light at the end of this very dark tunnel
I am trying to apply for reconsideration as I have been declined since the start of this in May 2020(Clearly a way to embezzle funds from the State, No transparency whatsoever about the multitude of valid claims that have been declined with relevant rejection codes or proof)
Once again the reconsideration webpage is not working and even if you call Sassa the call is immediately dropped when you enter option 1 for Special Covid 19 SRD grants or otherwise when you enter option 2 for other social grants you are informed that “SORRY THE NETWORK IS CONGESTED” and the call is ended. No other options to speak to anyone. (What if pray this never happens there is a bomb threat and you want to inform these helpless people to vacate)
My reconsideration appeals were all declined with exactly the same rejection codes as initial applications with no reason and when I queried it the attending Sassa agents became blatantly rude and told me that
“ What must they do about it” or even “ I must stop lying l because the systems shows that I am receiving an income and they do not access to the specific details)
This really makes you feel that the government does not care about its unemployed citizens and why are never assisted by a friendly person but all of them seems to be really pissed off.
SASSA is basically overwhelmed by the numbers, they are yet to activate the reconsideration module on the website
If sassa can see that I’m receiving help from friends and family can’t they see if we receive uif is it difficult to check that? Sassa stop playing games and do ur work plss, why don’t u go to labour system to check if we receive the money or not
I don’t have any source of income but my payment declined please I need help.
I don’t have any source of income but my payment declind because someone sent me 50 rand at my bank for mistake so now my money are declining
I don’t have any source of income but my payment declind because someone sent me 50 rand for mistake in my bank account
I don’t have any source of income but my payment decline
Well if sassa srd was stopped in May how do they think we survived.. I would think it would be obvious that some family was helping out with the bear necessities as we had no other alternative to see to our needs whether it be for transport to get to an interview or maybe bread and milk.. it’ still is none at f their business as they clearly have no compassion or emphaty for the unemployed. So because they receive their salaries plus x amount of whatever declining means nothing to them. And then have the odesity to say sassa doesn’t care about whoever is using people’s accounts . That’s is just inhumane and ungodly. First I was declined reason rip5 registration now alternative income. . Come on sassa just be transparent and say that there is not sufficient funds to pay all unemployed citizens as we had our hands in the cookie jar. We would appreciate that much more. And president never said that only people with account of non transactions are liable he said ALL UNEMPLOYED CITIZENS ARE TO RECEIVE THIS FUND. Sassa why not enquire about whatever it is you are seeing on people’s statements which you have access that I’ve never heard of in my entire life. This is a while lot of bullshit and we should actually take this to the Great leader Ramaphosa. Or sassa would be so kind provide us with employment then we will have a reason to declined for source of income not my father giving money so that I don’t smell or die or go for an interview. I rest my case and approve all unfairly declined applicants stop being lazy and greedy … Miss Alternative Source of non income
Mine is declined because my cousin send me money every month for building, I’m not working no income that I get. I just get chid support grant only. I need that R350 please help
Mine is declined because my cousin send me money every month for building. I’m not working no income that I get, I only get child support grant R460, I really need that R350 please help me
Mine says alternative income source identified I don’t know which income the deposit money was from sister for building at home,I’m not working and I don’t have any other source income.
SASSA and government are taking us the unemployed for a ride.They meticulously invent reasons for us not to qualify for the grand so they can have more money left to enrich themselves.
I was declined for alternative income source.When I finally got through to the reconsideration site to appeal.my reason for appeal as identity verification pending. Now I will be declined again for September.As I cannot change their site errors.Already they are R700 richer from one application.

Why do they look at what is coming in your bank account,if someone is sending me money through my bank account as I was desperate in need for money because of sassa declined my application and I’m not working at all..so why don’t they just check if the people are working or not..this is disappointing.
I was also decline for alternative income. I don’t work for nearly two years (no income at all) and my daughter deposit her share of the utility money in my account. Why don’t they check if it is a business or not that deposit the money into my account. Very disappointing in the system.
Why sassa appreciate is referred because I don’t have any income no work for me sassa did give me the 350 before just only for 3 mouths after then my application was referred I’m also a citizen in this country
If your application was referred then either your phone number or ID number is involved in a fraudulent activities, please contact SASSA on 0800601011 toll free number to check status for you

All I need to know is, when is SASSA going to come up with a solution regards to the “declined status received “? I just wish they could give me a better reason. I’m really frustrated due to thier incompetence. At the end of the day SASSA is making us suffer more than ever. How is it possible that I’ve alternative income source and my bank balance is -R66.00 minus R66.00 that means I owe my bank R66.00 for debits that couldn’t go off due to insufficient funds.
