Many South Africans are still waiting for their November R370 SRD payment, and SASSA has now confirmed that the official claim and processing window will run from 20 November to 28 November. During these eight days, SASSA will verify banking details, identity information, and income checks before releasing payments in batches.
Why Your November R370 May Still Be Delayed
SASSA has reported delays due to pending verification steps such as ID confirmation, bank account validation, income checks, and fraud-prevention reviews. Payments only reflect once these processes are completed. Beneficiaries with outdated or mismatched banking details may experience longer waiting times.
How the 20–28 November Claim Window Works
From 20 November onwards, SASSA processes all pending and newly approved applications for November. Payments are released in batches, and funds reflect based on bank processing times. Beneficiaries who have an “Approved” status will receive their deposit shortly after SASSA completes its verification during this window.
| Grant Type | New Amount | Claim Window | Payment Method |
|---|---|---|---|
| SRD Grant (SRD R370) | R370 | 20–28 November | Bank deposit, retail outlets, mobile money |
| Eligibility | Low-income adults 18–59 | Must meet income test | Updated monthly |
| Status Required | “Approved” | Payment follows bank clearance | Weekly payouts |
Who Must Recheck Their SRD R370 Status
Beneficiaries who updated bank details, changed phone numbers, moved to new addresses, or have “Pending,” “Referred,” or “Bank Verification” statuses must recheck the SRD portal. Those whose information does not match Home Affairs or bank records must correct it before 28 November to avoid missing this cycle.
What to Expect After Approval
Once your status updates to “Approved,” SASSA releases the payment to your chosen bank or collection point. Bank users typically see the funds within two to three working days, while retail collection may take slightly longer depending on verification.
Conclusion: The 20–28 November SASSA claim window is essential for beneficiaries still awaiting their R370 SRD payment. By completing pending verification and ensuring updated bank details, beneficiaries can expect their funds to reflect soon after approval. Staying updated and checking your SRD status regularly is the key to receiving your November payment without further delays.
