What does SASSA identity verification requested mean?

[Kaya Amari]

When your sassa status check result shows the message “identity verification requested.” It means that SASSA is requesting you to complete your biometric identity verification first to get your R370.

This change is part of SASSA’s new process to ensure the payment goes to the right people. This might be Sassa’s new biometric verification and you need to provide your selfie for facial recognition. SASSA will verify it with the documents used to apply for the grant.

Thanks for the clarification! It’s good to know that the “identity verification requested” message is part of SASSA’s efforts to make sure payments go to the right people. The new biometric process, especially the facial recognition step, seems like a smart move to prevent fraud. It’s important for anyone seeing this message to act quickly and complete the verification, so they don’t experience any delays in receiving their R370. Appreciate the heads-up
