SASSA Will Release a September Schedule Showing When R350 Grants Will Be Paid
The decision comes on the heels of numerous complaints from beneficiaries who have pointed out inconsistencies in the payment of the R350 grant. By introducing a monthly schedule, SASSA aims to provide clarity, ensuring beneficiaries are well-informed about when they can expect their payments.
Communication and Public Awareness
Paseka Letsatsi, the spokesperson for SASSA, commented on the new initiative: “We have resolved as an organisation to regularly update the payment schedule on social media platforms. Additionally, we will collaborate with various media houses to ensure the widest dissemination of this information. Our goal is to keep the public informed about the processing of their payments.”
Importance of Updated Beneficiary Details
Furthermore, Letsatsi emphasized the importance of beneficiaries keeping their details up-to-date on SASSA’s official website. He stated, “While many payments get approved, there are occasional hiccups due to discrepancies in beneficiaries’ details. We strongly urge beneficiaries to periodically check our website and update their information to prevent any delays in receiving their grants.”
Sassa Grant Payment Dates For September
Typically, permanent social grants are disbursed during the initial week of each month. Given that September is just around the corner, here are the specific dates when you can expect to collect your permanent social grant:
- Older Person’s Grant: Tuesday, 05 September 2023
- Disability Grant: Wednesday, 06 September 2023
- Child Support Grant: Thursday, 07 September 2023
Methods to Collect Your Sassa Grant
Permanent Sassa grants can be collected through cash withdrawals at ATMs or retail outlets using the Sassa gold card. Moreover, Sassa has extended the validity of all Sassa gold cards set to expire this year until the end of 2023.
Beneficiaries also have the option to access their grant payments without a Sassa gold card. However, in this case, beneficiaries need to provide their cellphone number, ID document, and Sassa Gold card PIN number.
