Any parent or a trusted adult with a verified Cash app account can be a sponsor for their children who are under the age of 18 years to manage money together in the app.
To become a sponsor you will receive a request for approval on the Cash app for a teen who cannot use the Cash app on their own and need a sponsor.
But many users report that the approval link is not working for them when they receive it to become a sponsor from a teen account.
If you are also facing the same issue of the approval link not working on the Cash app then read on. This article will discuss why the Cash app approval link is not working and how you can fix it.

How To Fix Cash App Approval Link Not Working?

1. Restart The Cash App
If the approval link is not working then it can be caused by a temporary issue in the Cash app. You can close the Cash app and restart it which will reboot the app and resolve any issue with it.
Also, check that you have stable and high-speed internet connectivity so that the Cash app runs smoothly.
2. Uninstall And Reinstall The Cash App

3. Check Parent Account For Verification
To be a sponsor for an account, the parent account must be a verified account and only then you can approve the link.
If you do not have a verified account then you cannot become a sponsor for a teen account. So, ensure that your Cash app account is verified before approving the link.
You can verify your account by providing your full information in the Cash app which includes your name, date of birth and SSN (Social Security Number).
4. Use Cash App Website
If your account is verified but still the approval link is not working then you can use the Cash app website instead of the app to approve the link.
Sometimes there can be a temporary error in the app which can cause the link to not work so you can use the website for link approval.
5. Contact Cash App Support

You can contact Cash Support via chat in the app or their Contact page. You can also call Cash Support at 1 (800) 969-1940 available from Monday to Friday, 9:00 am to 7:00 pm EST.
