Sassa Confirms Grant Payment Dates For September

Sassa Confirms Grant Payment Dates For September

To mark the first day of September, the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) wants to ensure that all social grant beneficiaries receive their grant payments on time. Here are the confirmed social grant payment dates for September.

As many social grant beneficiaries may be aware, the few days at the beginning of the month mean that grant payments are about to be processed.

September has just begun and the South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) has recently confirmed grant social grant payments for the current month.

On the second day of every month, beneficiaries receive their grants; however, payments are not made on weekends. The dates for Sassa social grant payments in September are as follows:

• Older person’s grant: Friday 2 September, (This includes any grants linked to this accounts)
• Disability grant: Monday 5 September,(this includes any grants linked to these accounts)
• Rest of the Sassa grants: Tuesday 6 September.

No set payment date for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD)

There is no set payment date for the Social Relief of Distress (SRD) grant valued at R350. Beneficiaries must wait until they are notified that their grant payment funds are prepared before visiting pay points such as businesses or ATMs to collect their grant payment.

In addition to this, the agency continues to remind social grant recipients that they are not required to withdraw their payout as soon as their funds are made accessible. Grant recipients are assured that their funds will stay in their accounts until they choose to withdraw them.

Beneficiaries are also advised to wait a few days before collecting their grant payments to avoid waiting in large queues at pay points. Although recipients may require the money as soon as it is available, it is understandable if they do not have the luxury of waiting a few days for their payments.

To avoid waiting in huge lines at pay points to receive their grants, beneficiaries are advised to postpone the collection of their grant payments for a few days. However, it is acceptable if recipients do not have the luxury of waiting a few days for their payments as it is obvious that they may need the money as soon as it becomes available.

Sassa grants can be withdrawn using the Sassa gold cards at bank ATMs. Recipients of grants are reminded to use alternative pay points rather than the post office.
