SASSA Reconsideration Application Process, Status Check 2024
The SASSA reconsideration process is like a second chance for people who disagree with decisions made about their benefits. To ensure that all people are treated equally and fairly if someone thinks there’s been a mistake, they can ask SASSA to take another look.
