After submitting your request and documentation, there is a compulsory waiting period of about 7 days during which SASSA reviews and verifies the information. This waiting period is in place to allow sufficient time for the verification process and to ensure the security of your financial information.
During this 7-day waiting period:
- SASSA will cross-reference the information provided with its records to confirm your eligibility for the requested change.
- SASSA may also contact you for additional information or clarification if required.
- It is important to be patient during this waiting period and avoid any unnecessary delays by ensuring that all documents and information are accurate and complete when initially submitted.
Finalising the Change:
Once the 7-day waiting period has elapsed, and SASSA has successfully verified your request, your banking details will be updated as per your request. You will then receive your grants in the newly designated bank account.
